We had an eBGP session with them at that time but it was very problematic. It is strange that the IP blocks that had the issue were the same blocks that we advertised with them and the ones that we were using with Level 3 at the time were unaffected. 

Once this message posted to the group, I got responses from Charter almost immediately from the group. So if I had been a member of the group yesterday morning when the problem was discovered I could have had a much faster resolution. 

Thanks for the response.

Do you recall whether you had an eBGP session with them, or if they
originated your prefixes on your behalf behind their own AS?

RPKI is not yet that widely deployed that you would see global success
in resolution. I'm curious to understand my query above...

That said, do keep trying to find a warm body there that can answer your
questions.

Mark.
