Re: Saudi Telecom sending route with invalid attributes 212.118.142.0/24

Actually just started seeing these problems again today.  Is anyone else seeing this today from something other than 
212.118.142.0/24?  Looks like it started about two hours ago.

"unrecognized transitive attributes" depend on whatever code version you are running... What's more important is how 
the unrecoginized attribute is handled.  Ideally you accept and pass the route and log it.  The problem is with 
devices that aren't so graceful.. dropping sessions and wreaking havoc:

with in the span of couple of hours this prefix was originated from 3 ASN i.e. AS3561 (Savvis), AS8866 (BTC) and 
AS25019 (STC original custodians).

As per the STC it was orginated by one of their customer having Juniper router. but I still don't understand why/how 
they are adv this prefix with unrecog transitive attributes.

Can any one suggest.

Looks like the RIS collectors are seeing it originating mostly from 
STC and KACST ASNs:
<http://stat.ripe.net/212.118.142.0/24>

Some of the "show ip bgp" reports on that screen are also showing
AS8866 "BTC-AS Bulgarian Telecommunication Company".  Not sure what's 
up with that.

Hello,

anyone else getting a route for 212.118.142.0/24 with invalid

Yup! We're seeing the same thing too, and we're filtering it out.
Originating AS is 25019
