Here's an except from the APNIC provided LOA I provided to a couple networks, to carry a new announcement...
"To whom it may concern,
APNIC and YouTube are cooperating in a project to investigate the properties of unwanted traffic that is being sent to specific destinations in the address block of 1.0.0.0/8. This address block has been recently allocated to APNIC from the IANA, and APNIC and YouTube are wanting to undertake this investigation prior to the commencement of ordinary allocations. Accordingly, APNIC authorizes AS36351 to periodically advertise a route for 1.0.0.0/8 from now until 21 March 2010, and requests that AS36351's peers and upstreams accept this as a legitimate routing advertisement."
In a continuation of last weeks experiments... we are now announcing 1.0.0.0/8 instead of 1.1.1.0/24 and 1.2.3.0/24.
