RPKI in action!

On Friday, AS209 created ROAs for 64.193.176.0/20 and 64.193.192.0/20 to regain IP space hijacked by AS134121.

Networks that drop RPKI invalids (2914,1299,6939) dropped the routes, although they are still in circulation via other networks. Image
Zoomed-in view to better understand withdrawal timing.
- AS1299 begins withdrawing at 19:22 UTC
- AS2914 begins withdrawing at 19:33 UTC
- AS6939 had route withdrawn by 19:38 UTC

As part of our measurement platform, we run 100s of millions of traceroutes per day - normally 1.5 million traverse AS3356 per hour.

At the nadir of the #centurylinkoutage, we were only seeing 474k successful traceroutes via AS3356 - a drop of 68%!
