not to justify the expense, but perhaps covad is renumbering from one block to another? Looking at their advertisments I see lots of /23 or /24 blocks inside their larger covering routes... So either they deaggregated to renumber more gracefully, or they forgot their prefix-list outbound to williams and exodus ? perhaps covad can explain? or silently cover up the 'mistake' (which is acceptable as well...)

it's not just covad. they're just such an egregious case among many socially and technically irresponsible polluters. randy

Sort of - from here it looks like they aren't actually announcing the supernets.
o and who can hack the perl to generate filters for this so we can listen only to the aggregates
I don't see their stuff listed in the radb, so it looks like you have to go to the router itself to read the routes to determine what they are announcing, then ask the appropriate registry which block they are announcing from, aggregate the routes in that block, rinse and repeat, aggregate the aggregated blocks, then filter. ..but that only works if they announce the supernets. Without that I'm not sure what you can do that wouldn't end up biting you back. It's also a lot of work for not too much reward as long as these messes are the exception and not the rule. Plus the public hand slap is kind of amusing. But that's probably just me. Austin

So you don't see: 64.105.0.0/16 66.134.0.0/16 66.166.0.0/15 67.100.0.0/14 68.164.0.0/14 69.3.0.0/16 ?
I don't see their stuff listed in the radb,
They actually did register all that more-specific crap (determined by checking some 10 samples), so they do this fully intentional. Well, it boils down that if you have enough customers, you seem to get away with about any antisocial behaviour on the net.
Plus the public hand slap is kind of amusing. But that's probably just me.
The problem is that they probably couldn't care less. There is no public sanctioning and pressure. Regards, Daniel -- CLUE-RIPE -- Jabber: dr@cluenet.de -- dr@IRCnet -- PGP: 0xA85C8AA0

e.g. is AS18566 the origin AS for 751 prefixes that could be collapsed to 6?
Sort of - from here it looks like they aren't actually announcing the supernets.
So you don't see: 64.105.0.0/16 66.134.0.0/16 66.166.0.0/15 67.100.0.0/14 68.164.0.0/14 69.3.0.0/16
?
there are still places on the net that do odd-ball filtering... perhaps he lives in one? (or nets from one?) (he being austin...)

and like I said, they MIGHT have a valid reason for this. I seem to remember a cable company a few months back doing this during a renumber, or some migration... I was hoping Covad would stand up, or someone who knows more (and has less of an axe to grind?), and set the record straight. Or, 'just make it go away' and leave randy/daniel/austin to wonder what happened :) Either way, so long as it stops, right?

You don't need to have many customers, it's just more fun if you have a larger space that you can deaggregate. Since everybody stopped filtering you can deaggregate everything into /24s today and get away with it. So as soon as you have a /23 you can play. And there are just too many "valid reasons" to resist. Around here most ISPs, when they announce new customer routes, send mail to their peers saying "we will announce these prefixes under these paths, please update your filters". I often respond with a friendly note that we will filter this or that prefix because it's a more specific of a PA prefix (which we will actually do, although it doesn't matter that much since we always have a fallback). Sometimes I offer to put in a temporary (usually a year) filter exception so that they can renumber their new customer into aggregatable space. It doesn't help often, but sometimes it does.

The covering /162, /15 and /14 aggregates are being globally announced, and the more specifics are being announced from the same origin AS, apparently along the same AS paths as the specifics, so its not clear that there is any form of traffic engineering or load balancing going on. regards, Geoff
o and who can hack the perl to generate filters for this so we can listen only to the aggregates
I don't see their stuff listed in the radb, so it looks like you have to go to the router itself to read the routes to determine what they are announcing, then ask the appropriate registry which block they are announcing from, aggregate the routes in that block, rinse and repeat, aggregate the aggregated blocks, then filter. ..but that only works if they announce the supernets. Without that I'm not sure what you can do that wouldn't end up biting you back. It's also a lot of work for not too much reward as long as these messes are the exception and not the rule.

Barry and me tried: http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0302/cidr.html Covad was first contacted Aug 2002:
ASnum NetsNow NetsCIDR NetGain % Gain Description AS18566 264 4 260 98.5% COVAD Covad Communications
But Covad was just one. I used to quietly contact these "pollutors" along with a few others who helped out (Barry and Terry) but as of a year ago I'm giving my 5-10 hours of volunteerism per month to nsp-sec. -Hank
if not, then perhaps the report could use some work.
if so, then o why are providers indulging is such extremely sick behavior o and who can hack the perl to generate filters for this so we can listen only to the aggregates

yup - see http://www.cidr-report.org/cgi-bin/as-report?as=AS18566&view=4637

I'm more than happy to do further work on this report to improve its accuracy and helpfulness to the operator community, but in this case I'm not sure what such work would be, as I believe that the report is accurate about the potential level of prefix removal at a global BGP level. Geoff
