Just wondering if this was a "Fat fingered" mistake or intentional...
I'm thinking "oops." Looking only for prefixes with the aspath " 4134 23724 23724 <end>," and only on 2010-04-08 UTC, we see 15210 prefixes announced. Of those, 9598 are allocated to CN, 11017 are allocated by APNIC, and 4193 are neither (LACNIC, AFRINIC, RIPE, ARIN). The prefixes are almost sequential as well. There are some few gaps. It ranges beginning with a prefix in 8/8 and ending with a prefix in 222/8. There are a wide range of networks of every sort. Nations involved, according to RIR records, include: Prefixes Country Code 9444 CN 2192 US 758 AU 448 CO 186 RU 139 ID 131 TH 122 JP 103 KR 101 EC 96 BR 91 IN 84 AR [ ... ] So I'm leaning towards "big oops." I'll see if we can find someone at AS23724 to ask, and perhaps assist if needed. Thanks, Rob. -- Rob Thomas Team Cymru https://www.team-cymru.org/ "Say little and do much." M Avot 1:15
