Dear Colleagues,
As you may be aware from recent news reports, traffic to the youtube.com
website was 'hijacked' on a global scale on Sunday, 24 February 2008. The
incident was a result of the unauthorised announcement of the prefix
208.65.153.0/24 and caused the popular video sharing website to become
unreachable from most, if not all, of the Internet.
The RIPE NCC conducted an analysis into how this incident was seen and
tracked by the RIPE NCC's Routing Information Service (RIS) and has
published a case study at:
http://www.ripe.net/news/study-youtube-hijacking.html
The RIPE NCC RIS is a service that collects Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
routing information from roughly 600 peers at 16 Internet Exchange Points
(IXPs) across the world. Data is stored in near real-time and can be
instantly queried by anyone to provide multiple views of routing activity
for any point in time.
The RIS forms part of the RIPE NCC's suite of Information Services, which
together provide a deeper insight into the workings of the Internet. The
RIPE NCC is a neutral and impartial organisation, and commercial interests
therefore do not influence the data collected.
The RIPE NCC Information Services suite also includes the Test Traffic
Measurement (TTM) service, the DNS Monitoring (DNSMON) service and
Hostcount. All of these services are available to anyone, and most of them
are offered free of charge.
More information about RIPE NCC Information Services can be found at:
