I just happened to notice something:
AS18566 755 7 748 99.1% CVAD Covad Communications
Clearly, all of them can be described as "leaf" ASes. None of them seem to have multihoming customers (or at least not THAT many). I seem to remember a person from Covad saying that their deaggregation was going to be temporary
It is about as temporary as a whole lot of other temporary things have been over the years I suspect. Anyway - as Brad Roldan of covad posted -
Our superblocks are also being advertised, for those of you that want to filter our routes.
Want to discuss further? Great. Call me or email me directly. Contact info is below.
Think you can do it better? Even better. It turns out I'm hiring. :)
So I guess till Brad hires someone who thinks he can do better wrt avoiding random eastern european providers leaking covad specifics, those of y'all who want to can just accept his superblock advertisements and forget about the deaggregates. I don't suspect that the world is suddenly going to be rid of providers in remote corners of the world who fatfinger their router configs, or that everybody's suddenly going to adopt bcp38 and stop bogus advertisements in their tracks .. so we just resign ourselves to seeing entries like those remain fixtures in future cidr reports as well :( --srs --srs
