Let me begin by saying that I have only just been informed that there is some connection between Noah <n...@neo.co.tz> and SEACOM. My apologies to him. If I had known of that connection, I might have raised the issus of the Ugandan bogons with him privately. But since this is now a matter of public discussion, I will respond publicly.

That is 100% correct. So SEACOM is certainly -not- the only network that is doing something wrong here. The real problem is that *nobody* should be peering with AS26754 which is a bogon ASN that was previously registered (or stolen) by Ernest Byaruhanga. Quite obviously, AFRINIC staff already realized that some time ago and they then appropriately de-registered AS26754 and returned that AS number to the free pool. Thus, AS26754 has been a "bogon" ASN for some time now. So the question must be asked: Why is AS37100 (or anybody else) still peering with the bogon AS26754? That should not be happening. Regards, rfg P.S. I am greatly looking forward to more widespread adoption of RPKI which may reduce some of these kinds of problems. _______________________________________________ Community-Discuss mailing list Community-Discuss@afrinic.net https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo/community-discuss
