At this time I am receiving a ton of bogus routes originating from AS701. This AS has hijacked all the /24 subnets of 128.1 through 128.1xx. Since the more specific route prevails in the cidr world they have managed to wipe out my network 128.9.0.0 not to mention a hundred other 128.x networks. This is not good. The third hand story I got from their hotline was that a core route crashed causing other core routers to crash. This doesn't explain anything to me. Are they using Ascend Giga routers in their core?
