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.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the original question, but the assertion that anybody is hijacking that particular prefix seems false.

back in the olden days, this prefix was in active use and for a period of time was anycast. methinks Joey was refering to routing -today-... one might ask the question, how can you tell when an un-authorized party originates routes (yours), from your ASN - their router of course.... /bill
