> Dear Colleagues,

> As you may be aware from recent news reports, traffic to the  
> youtube.com website was 'hijacked' on a global scale on Sunday, 24  
> February 2008. The incident was a result of the unauthorised  
> announcement of the prefix 208.65.153.0/24 and caused the popular  
> video sharing website to become unreachable from most, if not all,  
> of the Internet.
>
> The RIPE NCC conducted an analysis into how this incident was seen  
> and tracked by the RIPE NCC's Routing Information Service (RIS) and  
> has published a case study at:
> http://www.ripe.net/news/study-youtube-hijacking.html
>
> The RIPE NCC RIS is a service that collects Border Gateway Protocol  
> (BGP) routing information from roughly 600 peers at 16 Internet  
> Exchange Points (IXPs) across the world. Data is stored in near real- 
> time and can be instantly queried by anyone to provide multiple  
> views of routing activity for any point in time.
>
> The RIS forms part of the RIPE NCC's suite of Information Services,  
> which together provide a deeper insight into the workings of the  
> Internet. The RIPE NCC is a neutral and impartial organisation, and  
> commercial interests therefore do not influence the data collected.
>
> The RIPE NCC Information Services suite also includes the Test  
> Traffic Measurement (TTM) service, the DNS Monitoring (DNSMON)  
> service and Hostcount. All of these services are available to  
> anyone, and most of them are offered free of charge.
