Here is one that is somewhat the opposite, the AS announced a significant portion of IANA allocated space. Note, they are large blocks and as such probably did not cause much damage because most networks announce more specifics. My question to the community is, what kind of misconfiguration could cause this set of prefixes to be announced? I asked the AS responsible, but have not had a response.

Misconfiguration? :-) That's a nice word for spammer. See Joe's PPT at: http://www.uoregon.edu/~joe/maawg8/maawg8.ppt AS29449 is not the problem. It is the upstreams of AS5602 (KPNQwest Italia) and AS286 (KPN) that let this crap leak. -Hank Nussbacher http://www.interall.co.il
