yup you are in good hands, sounds more like filtering related among
peers. Use can use communities to test this theory.

I know a few folks from NTT have looked into this.  If someone 
from KPN would get in touch with Bryn I'm sure the issue could
be quickly resolved.

Reachability Issue

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone might be able to share their thoughts
on a strange issue we're experiencing with NTT at the moment.
We're AS48273 and are advertising a prefix 94.198.184.0/21
through AS 8190 (single upstream provider at the moment). We've
been doing this for some years now, and all has been fine. The
last few days we seem to have disappeared from NTT's worldwide
routing tables, with the exception of Europe. If we use their
looking glass to query any NTT european router we can see the
prefix, being learned via AS 286 then AS 8190, as expected. If
we look at any other router outside of europe, there is simply
no entry for that prefix. Elsewhere in the world we seem to be 
fine, we're in every other network I've looked at and general 
reachability is fine.

First step was to contact the NTT NOC, and they've confirmed
that there's no Internal routing/config issue on their network,
but that they cannot discuss their peering arrangements due to
NDAs. We've also picked it up with KPN (AS 286), who have
verified that the prefix is visible throughout their network
(true), and that they are advertising it to NTT. One thing of
note is that Global Crossing are learning our prefix from KPN
as well, and the prefix is showing fine in their global
tables.

We seem to be caught in the classic finger pointing scenario,
but I can't get my head around why the prefix is visible in NTT
Europe, but not anywhere else, unless they have a config error
somewhere on their network. We've checked a few of the routes
from AS 8190 and they are in the NTT global tables just fine,
and at least in Europe they seem to have the same community
values etc. We're still following on with NTT, but can anyone
offer some wisdom for new avenues to pursue?

Thanks for your help,

Bryn Sadler
