Just saw this (dealing with a different issue) and thought I would keep all
the information in one conversation.

I now have to use the community: 7843:666 to black hole.  I peer with 10796.

I don't know where the line is, but since there are multiple ASNs with
"Spectrum" or whatever company you want to call it.  My billing and
administration is all Charter, circuit id is TWCC.

I’m glad you got it figured out with the right people at spectrum.  When I
was sitting up ddos rtbh with my 3 isp’s , I remember spectrum (fka
twc/charter) was difficult to get the right person on the phone to help me
understand what I needed to do.  I had to go through layers of phone
attendants and groups to get to someone who knew about ddos rtbh.

Btw, I’ve wondered about using sp-neutral(agnostic) forms of ddos rtbh...
maybe cymru utrs combined with fastnetmon for immediate mitigation without
human intervention.  I’d really like to get there.

Got a hold of someone, finally!  All you have to do, if it's done through
BGP, is set a community to 10796:666

This was setup as Time Warner Cable but is Spectrum today.  The people I
spoke with had been with Time Warner Cable for years before the
acquisition/name change.

Attack is back on.  If there's anyone out there that works at Spectrum
and can do a route change and hopefully share some info on BGP communities
I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.

That’s where you confuse me Josh, if you do BGP with them wouldn’t it
be
your advertisement to them that’s causing them to route to you.  In
other
words, aren’t they only routing packets to you for prefixes that you
advertise
via BGP to them?

Unless of course the point-to-point between spectrum and Josh is under
attack...?
