[AusNOG] Urgent - Pacnet NOC contact (with BGP clue)

[Skeeve Stevens]

Hey all,

The situation I had a month or so ago with a provider announcing ranges of a customer they had cut-off as a form of punishment, has raised its head again.

This time I will name names, as I've just had a conversation with the GM of AINS (www.ains.com.au<http://www.ains.com.au>) Curtis Raams who said that it was their right to do so.

They seem to think that because they have an agreement to service the customer, that when they are suspended they are allowed to announce the customers ranges into the global table, to stop them using them.

The customer is multi-homed and is now essentially suffering the effects of a Denial of Service issue due to these announcements.

My simply resolution, is to get Pacnet to stop announcing their ranges... and essentially it will be 99% resolved... if AINS don't want to talk to them that is up to them.

The ranges affected (Belonging to Alumina Networks)

180.189.136.0/22

And possibly 175.45.144.0/20

The announcements may be smaller than this (le24)

Either could a Pacnet NOC guy with BGP clue contact me on my cell below, or someone provide a direct NOC contact of Pacnet... I have been on hold to their support line for a while now and not having any luck getting someone who understands what I'm talking about.
