Re: ATT BGP - Advertising my network on accident
This issue has been resolved by breaking up the /22 into /24's. Thanks to all for the advise. Maybe next time I will take someone's advise and advertise one of ATT's /8's. From: Eric Williams/Connectria To: nanog@nanog.org Date: 06/24/2010 02:37 PM Subject: ATT BGP - Advertising my network on accident AT&T is currently advertising my address space to the internet accidentally via BGP which they should not be. Since they are advertising my address space on accident, we are dead in the water. Does anybody out there work for ATT or know of the number I can call in order to have them stop advertising my /22 ASAP!!!!
I wonder how much of the de-aggregation in the routing table is attributable to issues like this? On Fri, Jun 25, 2010 at 9:56 AM, Eric Williams <ewilliams@connectria.com> wrote:

So, as periodically happens to me, what started as an idle curiosity turned into an experiment. I took a look at a RIB snapshot from Friday, from one of the RouteViews collectors, to see how common it is that a block gets advertised by two different ASes, as a whole block by one, and as a set of smaller blocks by the other. It turns out there's a non-trivial amount out there -- 490 blocks broken up, adding 1,815 prefixes announced, accounting for 19,623 RIB entries. More details below; let me know if you're interested in even more. Seems kind of interesting, as a form of deaggregation that doesn't show up in things like the CIDR report (since it's not within a single AS). (Standard caveats apply: This is a quick pass, not controlled for things like two ASes belonging to the same entity.) --Richard Total number of deaggregated prefixes: 490 Total additional prefixes advertised: 1815 Total additional RIB entries: 19623 (0.5% out of 3530845 total entries) Total addresses affected: 78863360 (roughly 1,203 /16s) Extremal points: 1. Largest deaggregated block: 17.0.0.0/8, advertised by AS7018 (AT&T), deaggregated into two /9s by AS714 (Apple Engineering) 2. Most fractured block: 58.140.0.0/14, advertised by AS3786 (LG DACOM, KR), deaggregated into 69 prefixes (ranging from /17 to /24) by AS10036 (C&M Communication, KR).

I'm fairly certain JayB at least reads nanog... the OP didn't mention if this was 7018, 7132 or the ATT_ENS AS with the route though :(

Looks like the prefix in question is 208.91.48.0/22 and it was briefly announced by 7018 yesterday, but that announcement seems to be gone now. I see 11734 is announcing 208.91.48.0/22 + 208.91.48.0/24 now, but not 208.91.49.0/24 - 208.91.51.0/24. On 06/25/2010 10:17 AM, Christopher Morrow wrote:
