Are they replying with that subnet via dns when requests are being made?

the point is: Level3 is exporting this prefix to the EU since ~1 week … Telia is learning it from Level3 and they also started to re-export it:

Telia Looking Glass
(http://lg.telia.net/?query=bgp&protocol=IPv4&addr=31.13.71.0/24+exact&route
r=Vienna)

Command: show route protocol bgp 31.13.71.36 table inet.0
31.13.71.0/24      *[BGP/170] 18w5d 16:40:16, MED 0, localpref 150
                      AS path: 3356 32934 I, validation-state: unverified
                    > to 80.239.128.178 via ae9.0


This is causing >120ms latency to Austrian (and some German ...) networks towards Facebook - current traceroute from source network 188.172.239.0/24:

The admins of AS42473 started to drop the more specific from Level3 and now they get it from Telia (which is the Level3 re-export they learned).

I guess you guys should talk to Level3 and ask them what the hell they are doing? :).


Thanks & best regards
