according to Filip, this is -NOT- supposed to be anycast. the only legal origin ASN is 4555.
these other ASNs have hijacked the prefix.
The source data above may be old, or simply wrong -- I don't see *any* AS originating that prefix right now, and I can confirm specifically AS20144 is not configured to originate it.
This is based on last four year's data(2007-2010)collected from more than 120 peers around the world. Today it may be not announced anymore, but it used to be announced by the four ASNs simultaneously. I just checked the detailed info about this prefix, here it is about the prefix: 198.32.64.0/24 (ASN: average peers announcing this prefix:existing period:total appearing days: MOAS period: total appearing days) 4555:4.94:20080318-20080506:50:20080318-20080506:50 9584:3.07:20080402-20080513:42:20080402-20080513:42 20144:79.44:20070101-20080501:487:20071215-20080501:138 42909:26.39:20071215-20080515:152:20071215-20080513:150
MY source data
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the original question, but the assertion that anybody is hijacking that particular prefix seems false.
This needs to do further analysis to confirm if it was hijacked

in that period, it was originated by these parties, most of whom were authorized to announce it. at this time, only one ASN is authorized to announce, and its not.
not sure how you expect to determine, with simple routing data, if the prefix was hijacked. you would need to see the letters of authorization or contracts of service/carriage to determine if an ASN was impropperly announcing.
for that matter, why do you care what occured years ago? the Internet is an evolving, fluid media and things change all the time. if you want particulars on this prefix, i should have the authoritative data, since I was the registered contact for both the prefix and the ASN in that period and can pull the records. Contact me offline for details on access.
I might not explain the background clearly and confused people. We're doing research on multiple origin AS issue, and we want to confirm if our inference is correct based on history data we collected. For example, we found several hundreds of prefixes with multiple origins more than two, some of them were inferred as anycast using our methodology, but we're not positive with the conjecture, so we want to find the ground truth from operators. Thanks for the detailed explanations. Thanks, Yaoqing
