This was by far the most clued post in the entire thread. 1. For the most part, engineers are happy to talk to engineers. 2. See one. 3. A Tier-1 lives and dies by its reputation. If they let hijacks go unnoticed, then that's a black tarnish, and all of NANOG will know. Besides they are generally extremely helpful. I speak from experience, as I've had to deal with this on a few occasions. Generally speaking, 30 minutes is the longest you'll have to wait for something as easy to stop as this.

Typical response: You're not our customer, who are you? I'm Omachonu Ogali with XYZ Networks, and I'd like to speak to a network engineer regarding a routing problem. -- Ah ok, please hold.
2. If not helpful call their upstream.typical response: you're not our customer, go away.
See above.
3. Call a couple of Tier 1's who are transit for their upstream, and have them filter it.response: who the hell are you?
Cut the crap, when US/CKS was leaking Digex to UUnet, I called UUnet, and within 30 minutes the problem was resolved. Plus when I called, I wasn't representing any company or calling any magic numbers.
Until you get back to the people you buy transit from, or peer with,
and
try to get them to take on your cause. When you can't get your own upstreams to understand what you're talking about, you post to NANOG,
and
the problem gets solved in short order.
No, most of you post to NANOG about irrelevant drivel that brings the S/N ratio lower each year, or you post 3-4 hops out of a 12 hop traceroute, or you resort to NANOG instead of calling your upstream first, or you talk about implementing the most wacked out routing policy to exist on the planet.
This tends to be the sad reality.
Yes, the above tends to be the sad reality.
