They said the reason was they didn't have an LOA (which they had gotten back in October) and the ip blocks were not in the Level3 Radb list. I could still see announcement to some peers (Shaw Cable in Canada) in a few looking glasses and BGP routers. However my network blocks were not showing for the larger US carriers like Qwest and AT&T. One of their techs just called me back and said that Level3 should be advertising it, but I still do not see the routes on the AT&T route server. After noting that the tech said that it may take another day for BGP to "propagate" to other peers as they update their radb tables. In my experience I've never seen anything where I had to wait for a route to propagate other than standard routing table updates which usually take less then an hour, and I'd really not expect this many problems between Tier1 and Tier2 providers. I need to know if this matches other's experience and wanting to know what other people were seeing with traceroutes and "show ip bgp". The networks in question at the following 4 /24's
68.68.176.0/24 68.68.177.0/24 68.68.178.0/24 68.68.179.0/24
the serial ip address is 72.43.84.254
Thanks for your assistance.

I believe the TWC tech is referring to prefix filter updates and not routing table updates. Some of TWC's peers most likely use IRR based filters on their BGP sessions. Most networks only check once a day for IRR changes and apply those changes to filters. It looks TWC put in proxy route objects today for your blocks so I am guessing someone at TWC forgot to make the updates in advance. Work around is for them to reach out to the peers with IRR based filters and request a manual update. Sounds like that is what they are doing. route: 68.68.176.0/24 descr: RR-RC-Princetown Cable Company, Inc.-Albany origin: AS11351 notify: ipaddreg@rr.com mnt-by: MAINT-RR changed: ipaddreg@rr.com 20111214 source: RADB route: 68.68.177.0/24 descr: RR-RC-Princetown Cable Company, Inc.-Albany origin: AS11351 notify: ipaddreg@rr.com mnt-by: MAINT-RR changed: ipaddreg@rr.com 20111214 source: RADB Run the below on 12/15 and it should return your blocks. $ whois -h filtergen.level3.net radb::as11351 | grep 68.6 $ Courtney Smith courtneysmith@comcast.net () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
