I'm not entirely certain what is going on but has anyone noticed some strange announcements for 174.128.31.0/24?
I received a hijack notice that my AS (AS11708) was announcing the above IP range. I verified that I was not when I started noticing some strange announcements for that range. Around 10 Am CST AS11911 was announcing it (AS_PATH: 1239 2914 3130 11911) then around 11:30 AM CST I observed AS12083 announcing it (AS_PATH: 1239 2914 3130 12083).
Interestingly enough, ARIN indicates this is a part of range they have assigned for reachability testing. http://ws.arin.net/whois/?queryinput=174.128.31.0
randy lied but no packets died enough now More seriously, this is indeed reachability research. Try emailing the AS 3130 contacts although I'd imagine Randy will see this. Thanks, --msa
