Invalid prefix announcement from AS9035 for 129.77.0.0/16

Fri Oct 9 14:11:09 UTC 2009

Lots of people were affected, but none significantly.   They originated
86,747 networks very briefly (less than a minute at 7:23 UTC), and I don't
think anyone outside Telecom Italia's customer cone even saw them.   So the
impact was really, really limited.  The correct origins were being
reasserted even before the last of the announcements came over the wire.

It always irks me when I see "routing alerts" that arrive hours after the
event is over, without any of the context that would allow you to know
whether it had any real impact.   Your instinct to check looking glasses is
the right one, but you have to move quickly and know where to look.

Of course, I'm biased.    --jim
