Completely unrelated to l'affaire ORBS of course, but in this more recent example, was uunet kenya a transit customer (or customer of a customer) of abovenet? And quoting from a previous email - -------- An interesting bit is that the current announcement on routeviews directly from AS 6461 has Community 6461:5999 attached: ... 6461 64.125.0.137 from 64.125.0.137 (64.125.0.137) Origin IGP, metric 0, localpref 100, valid, external, best Community: 6461:5999 ... According to this, that community is used for "internal prefixes": http://onesc.net/communities/as6461/ "6461:5999 internal prefix" A "sh ip bgp community 6461:5999" currently yields 130 prefixes with Origin AS of 6461 and that community. Nothing more specific than a /24, although many many adjacent prefixes that would presumably be aggregated normally are announced as well. ------- anybody see similar routing loops for those other prefixes that'd make it look like 5999 is a blackhole community at abovenet, so this dude is seeing what ORBS saw way back when (2000, right) - that is, he had abuse issues, was downstream of a downstream of abovenet and got his /24 blackholed? srs
