Greetings, Today (Aug 14th 2006) AS 8437 announced 63 /8 nets from 14:30 to 15:00 UTC. I don't believe that this is normal, but please correct me if I am wrong.
Note they're all unallocated blocks, so probably someone's attempt at bogon filtering got leaked inadvertently. Since they're all unallocated blocks, it shouldn't have done any harm, and anyone with reasonably intelligent routing policies should have blocked those routes anyways. :P And may there be a special circle of hell reserved for the weenies who do stupid unnecessary shit that breaks more than it fixes in the name of security. :) -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras () e-gerbil net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)
