I don't know what Google and Moratel's peering agreement, but "leak"? educate me, Google is announcing /24 for all of their 4 NS prefix and 8.8.8.0/24 for their public DNS server, how did Moratel leak those routes to Internet?

Ah, right, they just leaked Google's prefix. I thought a customer originated the prefix.
Original question still stands. Which attribute do you expect Google to set to stop this?

Everyone who posted in this thread was well aware of that. (Well, except me in my first post. :) Google was still the victim, and it was still not their fault. You are showing wide and clear ignorance on the basics of peering. Which is fine, the vast majority of the planet hasn't a clue what peering is. However, the rest of the people who do not know what they are talking about have managed to avoid commenting on the subject to 10K+ of their not-so-closest friends. To be clear, if you had started with something like: "Why is Google originating the route? Doesn't that make it valid?", you would have gotten a lot of help & support. But instead you started by claiming it was Google's fault and they could stop this by setting "the correct BGP attributes". I note you still haven't told us what those attributes would be despite repeated questions. Perhaps it's time to admit you don't know what attributes, and you need a little more education on peering in general? When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. -- TTFN, patrick

Dear Mr. Know-Peering, I came here to learn and I believe I have the right to say what I was thinking, no matter how ignorant my comment was. I don't have the right to blame anybody, in fact I don't give a damn whose fault it is, it is not my business. I apologize if I offended you when you claimed that it was a hijacking.

It looks like nLayer have routes learned through Moratel which have local-pref set to anywhere up to 250 (learned from private peers), while the routes learned from direct peering relationships to Google on public peering have a local-pref of 200. This explains why the routes from Moratel would have been preferred during the period when they were being leaked, despite the shorter as-path (but doesn't explain why they weren't being filtered).
