For those interested, I made an overview of longest AS paths observed per day, starting with February 1st.

I added a feature that checks if number of prepends matches the low-order 8 bits of the offending AS number. 
Indicating that it's likely caused by the same Mikrotik bug/feature.

The list can be found here:

Interesting is that the first time this was observed was actually on February
9th (251 prepends by AS45307). Apparently the impact was not as widespread as
this week. 

Cheers,
 Andree
