Re: Prefix hijacking, how to prevent and fix currently

Would it not help if RIPE un-publishes these ASN's from their whois database ?

I filed the abuse report at RIPE but haven't heard back from them. We
are NOT a RIPE member but an APNIC member.

Hi Tarun

Not really. People who are filtering route are filtering already since only
you have route object for it and people who are not filtering, for them
RIPE DB and whois won't matter.

Not sure against what RIPE rule it would be and what kind of leverage RIPE
could have here, even if we know they are intentionally evil.

However if I'd be supporting my family with this type of business model, I
would simply appear to be very bad at it, not evil. So I would claim that we
didn't do anything bad here, it was one of our customer (as they do have
different origin AS), and when pointed out, that this ASN has never been your
customer and cannot be, as completely different physical location, I'd simply
say we seeme to have verify-first-as turned off, so it could have been anyone,
and we're hard at work resolving it.
All of this with appropriate delay in answering to queries so you can keep on
doing it years before it's even clear you're evil not just really bad in your
job.

A Grand Ayatollah in Iran has determined that access to high-speed and

answer to a question published on his website, Grand Ayatollah Nasser
Makarem Shirazi, one of the country's highest clerical authorities,

Re: Prefix hijacking, how to prevent and fix currently

Of course, a PRO you are seeking to achieve is:

If Org. A is parent and upstream of Org. B, and Org. A has created a ROA for 
its 
own less specific, while no ROA has been created (due to negligence, oversight, 
etc.) 
for the suballocation (more specific) of Org. B,
and if Org. A happens *not* to announce its less specific, then Org. B's 
announcement 
of the more specific from its own AS will be treated softly. 
That is, Org. B's announcement will be 'Invalid' but nevertheless the route is 
accepted/installed by any receiving AS that is using the 'Loose' mode.  
This is the benign/beneficial use of 'Loose' mode.
   
But the CON here is:

For instance, Org. C owns a prefix but has not yet deployed any services using 
it.
Org. C created a ROA (perhaps even an ROA with AS0) purely with the intent 
to make sure that no one else can get away with announcing any
subprefix (more specific) under its prefix unless they have a ROA for the 
subprefix.
The 'Loose' mode obviously defeats this.
Some Org. D can maliciously announce a subprefix under Org. C's prefix,
and get away with it due to the 'Loose' mode.

So there will be this tension between the PRO and CON of your 'Loose' mode.

I think, 'Loose mode', if used at all, should not be used beyond a short grace 
period.
Beyond the grace period, network operators and their customers will be 
well advised to adhere to the following from RFC 7115: 
"Before issuing a ROA for a super-block, an operator MUST ensure that
   all sub-allocations from that block that are announced by other ASes,
   e.g., customers, have correct ROAs in the RPKI."

Multicast Internet Route table.

Members
I have few questions related to Multicast deployment in the internet today.
1: Does all the ISP's provide Multicast Routing by default?
2:  Is there any placeholder where one can get to know the Multicast Internet 
Route table (usage, stability etc) just like Unicast Route table

So C is advertising valid 192.0.2.0/24
Is D advertising valid 192.0.2.0/23?

This is unfixable problem? If D is advertising invalid or unknown, C would
still work and win, as longest prefix match is done first to the 'valid'
population, if search is found, other populations are not searched.

We need to be pragmatic and ready to compromise. Right now deploying RPKI puts
you in competitive disadvantage, loose mode would remove the business risk and
make it easier to justify deployment.
