Hi,

I've been casually observing the connectivity to Bitcanal / AS3266 /
AS197426 since the thread started.

After GTT shared that bitcanal had been disconnected, bitcanal was only
visible behind Cogent. But the Cogent path now also seems to have been
disconnected. After Cogent they popped up behind BICS (but just for a few
days), that circuit seems to have been disconnected too.

On the IX front: I noticed that Bitcanal's IP addresses on LINX (since
yesterday) and FranceIX (since today) are no longer responding.

It is good to see that discussing BGP hijacking abuse complaints actually
results in clean up activities. I hope the remaining IX's they're still
connected to can act too.

Thanks!

And it also seems that they are now no longer reachable over the AMS-IX fabric (and is no longer listed as a member).

I also noticed that hey are not reachable over the Megaport/ECIX fabric in Frankfurt either (no arp or ping-reply) but
is listed as member on the megaport website, so not sure whats going on there.

The only routes i can see now for 3266/197426 is two /24 v4 and one /29 v6 that jumps on over to portugal through 1299
(telia) -> 174 (cogent) -> 29003 (refertelecom / iptelecom).
