Re: BGP Hijack/Sickness with AS4637

This looks like a route that has been cached by some ISPs/routers even
though a withdrawal has actually happened.

If you actually forward packets a long the path, you'll see its not
following the AS Path suggested, instead the real route that it should be.
Bouncing your session with 4637 would likely clear this.

Greetings!

Actually, what you have provided below shows the exact opposite. It shows
ColoAU have received the route from 4637 who have received it from 3257 who
have received it from 29909 who have received it from 16532 who originated
it. It infers nothing about who 16532 found the route to come from.

It is evident that GTT are advertising that route to Telstra Global :)

        And I'm pretty sure AS3257 (GTT ) is in the same boat as us, as
they're not the one advertising those routes to AS4637

    AS16532 found it to come from AS4637 as you can see from this ColoAU
