This seems to suggest that you are just picking ASns at random to inject into the paths, and that you don't have a set of ASs which you have the assignees permission to use.

Would't this then actually equate to resource hijacking along the lines of prefix hijacking? Who will be the first to hit the RIRs?

Isn't this a case of illustrating how easy it is to tell lies in BGP today? I don't see what hitting the RIRs has do to with this. The problem appears to be more basic than that - its just too easy to tell lies in BGP and get the lies propagated globally.

Well agreed. And that is an important point in itself. The reference to the RIRs was me trying to be ironic as when we have prefix hijacks that seems to be reported to the RIRs. - - kurtis - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.1 iQA/AwUBQibejKarNKXTPFCVEQKO6ACeIzkX5j04JA3RK3Y48fSsXM0DMLEAoM+k 6+j6phNoiKSg5Qai2CNSloLa =TWvV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
