Verizon no BGP route to some of AS38365 (182.61.200.0/24)

Thu Jul 21 16:20:37 UTC 2022

I looked at this a little last night, but didn't have time to write an 
email about it.  Verizon has a lookingglass:

https://www.verizon.com/business/why-verizon/looking-glass/

which you can use to see that Verizon has no route covering 182.61.200.0. 
Looking at routeviews, I see routes for 182.61.200.0/22, 
and 182.61.200.0/21, but no path via Verizon.

Also looking at routeviews, there's ample evidence that Verizon and China 
Telecom peer, so the question is, does China Telecom not advertise these 
routes to Verizon, or is Verizon rejecting them for some reason?  I 
suspect only engineers at CT and VZ can answer that.
