That would lead you straight to Randy, and that should have cleared up the matter straightaway.  Remember: the owner of the IP space is the victim, not the ASN which gets prepended into the path...

	No, they are both victims.  If I inject a path that purports
there is an edge between two networks which are engaged in a bitter
dispute, (i'll use cogent & sprint as an example) - _1239_174_ that may
create a situation where someone asserts that their routes are
being filtered when infact no connectivity exists.

	Does that mean that I hijacked their identiy and forged it?  What
level of trust do you place in the AS_PATH for your routing, debugging and
decision making process?

	Personally, I would be upset if someone injected a route with my
ASN in the AS_PATH without my permission.
