Looks like 12956 is announcing some /8s to every peer and transit. Worse still, Sprint and GX are propagating it. This is not the first time that Telefonica has leaked a lot of garbage routes with serious network impact as a result (nor is it the second or third, actually). 12.0.0.0/8 64.0.0.0/8 65.0.0.0/8 I'd say both GX and Sprint have a lot to answer for right about now. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)

It looks like 12956 is propagating announcements from their customer 26210 of these /8 routes. It looks like 12956 does not have correct policies in place to block such announcements from their customers as many of the large ISPs in US do (mostly by requiring customers to pre-authorize and give list of blocks that they would be announcing) and that is why from time-time things like this leak out (which they deal with each time after the fact). It does seem appropriate that if 12956 is unable to put appropriate policies in place to make sure things like this do not happen, then all its announcements will have to be double-checked and pre-authorized by its transits i.e. GBLX and Sprint. --- William Leibzon Elan Networks william@elan.net

I'd say both GX and Sprint have a lot to answer for right about now.
Minor apologies to GX, it looks like Telefonica isn't a customer any more, just a direct peer. I'm still annoyed from the last outage caused when Telefonica leaked routes to GX as a transit customer. Sprint on the other hand propagated this as full transit. I'm glad to see no one has learned from AS7007. :) As for how to prevent this from happening again... I know many people who aren't able to implement full peer filtering are at least enforcing simple as-path checks on the largest ASNs (making sure that customers and peers don't reannounce paths which have 7018 in them, for example), but it doesn't look like anyone is trying to filter things on a largest prefix basis. When AS26210 decides to start originating the prefixes themselves instead of just leaking it from 7018, boom. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)

Looks like 26210 is originating the prefixes and Telefonica is happily passing them along to the world, at least some portion of which is glad to go along for the ride. Q. How does the Internet work?

$10 says someone forgot "ip classless". $20 says this devolves into a discussion about pgp key signed bgp announcements or some other impractical soapbox within less than 10 emails. :) Now if only they made "no ip clueless". -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)

Is there a valid argument for making "ip classless" the default in the IOS? Seems to me that it would only solve problems, but I don't profess to be a routing guru, especially in comparison to folks in this forum. -- Drew Linsalata The Gotham Bus Company, Inc.

It has been that way for a while now? Pete
