I merely offered the observation, in my own rather backhanded way, that Lithuania is not exactly geographically close to either Georgia or Iran. So, you know, it's not as if these chaps from Georgia -and- the chaps from Iran just happened to bump into anyone from this Lithianian ISP while they were having a drink in their local bar, or at their local Rotary Club meeting one day, and then started up a conversation that began with "Oh! So you are an ISP! That's good, because we've been needing some connectivity, and you are obviouly just the man for the job!" The word "implausible" comes immediately to mind. >Someone from AS56630 forgot to enable remove-private-as for eBGP peers. That would explain at least -some- of the stupid route announcements. It would not explain why AS56630 seems to have decicated quite such a lot of their IPv4 address space... or that of their "customers"... to hosting what is rather clearly snowshoe spamming operations. Nor would it explain the original hijack that I asked about, nor a few other equally fishy looking historical route announcements that I am presently looking at. Regards, rfg
