Got a spam advertising a web page there, ARIN claims it's not allocated although all the space around it is. It routes through Tierranet.
[edit]
Perhaps ARIN has reserved the entire /19 for TierraNet, but only actually allocated the lower /20 to them? Perhaps TierraNet is announcing their /20 as a /19 to get past Sprint's route filters?
ARIN policy for initial allocations to ISPs declares that a provider will be allowed to temporarily announce a /19, when they have been allocated a /20.
Well...that explains why they're announcing a /19 when they've been allocated a /20, but it leaves the question "Why do they have machines with addresses in the top portion of the /19 announcement that are not in the /20 they've been allocated?" -Richard

I don't think it's totally clear to the customers that when ARIN allocates a /20 from a reserved /19, the customer isn't supposed to use the second /20. ----don't waste your cpu, crack rc5...www.distributed.net team enzo--- Jon Lewis <jlewis@fdt.net> | Spammers will be winnuked or Network Administrator | nestea'd...whatever it takes Florida Digital Turnpike | to get the job done. ______http://inorganic5.fdt.net/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key________

So does someone want to announce it and dump it into the nearest sludge pit? -- -- *-----------------------------* Phil Howard KA9WGN * -- -- | Inturnet, Inc. | Director of Internet Services | -- -- | Business Internet Solutions | eng at intur.net | -- -- *-----------------------------* philh at intur.net * --
