Well, it's not just someone in Pakistan announcing the prefix. In order to have global impact, a Tier-1 had to put it into their view of the table. It's not that everyone peers directly with the Pakistanis. I guess you'd probably have seen similar routing leaks from German ISPs, except that over here, blocking tends to be based on /32s, which should not propagate very far. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
