The alerts we got were because our AS number was showing up somewhere else in the world. Whether it's "legit" IP space or not - it still warrants investigation on a high priority from my perspective. I have nothing against Randy or anyone else involved with this project .. to be quite honest I'd be interesting in seeing/hearing the results ... but I believe a more careful approach is in order with consideration for the folks effected.

If a noc alerted on this it should have still be a low priority issue. I don't see any issues with the way this was carried out at all. -jim ------Original Message------ From: Michienne Dixon To: NANOG list Subject: RE: Anyone notice strange announcements for 174.128.31.0/24 Sent: Jan 12, 2009 6:55 PM But isn't this method kind of related to how an network from the Mediterranean/Mid-east went about blocking what they felt was undesirable/offensive content from entering their network? - Michienne Dixon Network Administrator liNKCity 312 Armour Rd.

For us, it was annoying - we look for prefix hijackings or what appear

i think herein lies the rub. it is not prefix hijacking and in no way should it appear that way to you. i suggest tuning your detectors. i am told that path poisoning is used (futilely, we hope to show) in day to day ops by folk to try to avert dos attacks. randy Sent from my BlackBerry device on the Rogers Wireless Network ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and contains confidential and/or privileged material.
