Re: Ownership of Routers on Both Ends of Transnational Links

i suspect the OP is down the rabbit hole of what is known as "anti-aliasing," trying to find out whether IP address A on some router is actually on the same router as IP address B, and what AS(s) those IPs are in. your point is that an inter-as link may have IPs from either of the providers. yup.

"Can anyone confirm that these are indeed managed by the Chinese ISPs (even though they are physically located in the US according to the traceroute and RTT analysis)?" If a router is part of the CU AS, it's owed and managed by them. Physical location isn't really relevant to your question. On Tu

I think it's clear that the IPs belong to Telia, but I understood James's point to be that the router using the IP in question may belong to China Unicom. (I agree with that, I was not thinking clearly this morning.) As this is an interconnect link, one side must belong to Telia and the other to Ch

"company-ic" and "company-gw" are commonly used names for /30s used for interconnection to a customer or another carrier. Those routers are likely owned/managed by Telia/Verizon. On Tue, Apr 16, 2019 at 8:54 AM Pengxiong Zhu wrote: > Howdy folks, > > We are a group of researchers at UC Riverside
