I have a level 3 circuit with BGP. Level 3 set me up a maintainer. To communicate with this program I just send an email to the maintainer, based on my email address and the maintainer name it will allow the route I request advertisement. I don't believe any one monitors this system and I would imagine if no one complains about this company advertising hijacked routes to level 3 then it would be quite easy to advertise a network that has been abandon. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Woodcock [mailto:woody@pch.net] Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2011 5:04 PM To: Ronald F.

As I already mentioned, 159.223.0.0/16, which is actually registered to the Hoechst Celanese Corporation, has quite obviously been hijacked
And have you reported this to ARIN? https://www.arin.net/public/fraud/index.xhtml Obviously it's not fraud on Celanese's part, but it certainly seems to be evidence that they don't need the space anymore. If someone who needed it more had it, they might not put up with the hijacking. -Bill -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAk2TmqwACgkQGvQy4xTRsBGkiwCgvHVFs1qz55H+FNCj+Apwrcev sFIAoMluDV11me+X8I9MoVie611H8e9P =p+yS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
