To follow up on this:
I've engaged Verizon's executive office to finally try to get to a network engineer (because I don't have a contact myself). The (proxied) response from the engineer was that they aren't receiving any announcements for these routes to AS701, and I would need to take it up with Baidu. I guess I would like to understand if that seems reasonable to people since it is my presumption that Baidu would return and say something similar (that they advertise their routes to their peers correctly and to take it up with Verizon). To me, it seems like there is clearly a failing in one of Verizon's peers where they are not advertising or accepting this route correctly, but that it would be incumbent on Verizon to do the legwork to fix it since they are the ones who know their peering agreements and have these contacts. Unfortunately it seems like policy that Verizon pushes any issues that aren't internal routing issues to an external party, but surely they have a responsibility to maintain their peering and routes to external services as well. In other words, this type of buckpassing does not seem right to me (and I've heard it from them on other routing issues before), especially given that they are the ones empowered to fix it. Any thoughts?

(As it happens, pan.baidu.com now resolves to an IP range that is routable by Verizon, but it could always revert, and it seems like Verizon should have these routes regardless.)

Thanks.

From my limited vantage point it appears that there is some issue between Verizon & Baidu. Baidu has 182.61.0.0/16 registered, but is only advertising pieces of it globally (or at least from what I can see). In our tables,we are receiving none from Verizon of  the subnets that are advertised directly from Baidu (origin AS of 38365). The few within that registered range that have a different origin AS are coming to us from Verizon. For example:

Subject: Verizon no BGP route to some of AS38365 (182.61.200.0/24)

 

I've been trying (to no avail) for over a month now to get Verizon to investigate their lack of BGP routing to 182.61.200.0/24, which hosts Baidu Wangpan at  pan.baidu.com (Baidu's cloud services/equivalent of Google Drive).

 

Easily verified through Verizon's Looking Glass.

 

We all know Verizon's BGP routing is a disaster, but does anyone have any ideas?
