[AusNOG] Verizon Sydney to Amazon Sydney via Tokyo

[Jonathan Thorpe]

I've been battling with some routing oddity since about Friday when we started seeing traffic routed from Verizon Sydney going to Amazon AWS in Sydney via Tokyo.

As an example:

Having a lot of trouble getting a response through official channels for both Amazon and Verizon. Anyone lurking from either of these that may be able to assist?

Kind Regards,
