I'm going to call these turkeys right now and just ask them, point blank, what the bleep they think they're doing, routing unallocated APNIC space.
Makin' phat stacks.
One thing the RIRs could do is put pressure on AS's to not route these objects,
Will never happen. The RiRs have been crystal clear, and also utterly consistant... "Not our job man! We am not the Internetz Police." The thing that really baffles me about this kind of thing is how this kind of crud can happen in the first place, and also, even more baffling, how it can persist for months on end without anybody even noticing. I'm looking at this: http://lg.ring.nlnog.net/prefix_detail/lg01/ipv4?q=103.11.67.105 which appears to provide a nice list of the rest of the netwits who are also to blame for this one particular singular bit of idiocy: AS2914 -- NTT America, Inc. AS1299 -- Telia Company AB AS12798 -- Ace Data Centers, Inc. AS174 -- Cogent Communications AS6939 -- Hurricane Electric, Inc. AS3491 -- PCCW Global AS7922 -- Comcast Cable Communications, LLC AS6762 -- Telecom Italia Sparkle / Seabone AS10026 -- Pacnet Global Ltd AS11798 -- Ace Data Centers, Inc. So, um, is it really the case that -none- of the above companies have even noticed that anything was amiss here, and that all have failed to do so for months on end? (Or did they notice, but then felt is wasn't their place to say anything about it?) Sorry if those are stupid or naive questions, but... "The more I know, the less I understand." -- Don Henley Is this just another one of these cases where everybody is responsible and thus, nobody is? Is it really the case that none of the above companies ever check that what their peers announce is consistant with any routing registry? I don't pretend to understand this stuff. Somebody please 'splain it to me. I'll be much obliged. Regards, rfg
