[AusNOG] Hostile act by an Australian ISP

[Phillip Grasso]

Agreed this is bad form from what u described. If you don't own the routes
or do not have permission then you should not be advertising.

There are plenty of legal means to get there money.

Ok briefly,

A customer of ours is multi-homed.

There has been a breakdown in the relationship with one of their suppliers
due to a billing dispute and their interconnection has been shut down.

This I do not have a problem with - its up to them to resolve it.

But, due to my customer having another upstream, this supplier is announcing
some of my customers ranges into their upstream (Pacnet) and Pipe peering -
essentially poisoning their routing and damage their ability to function.

The supplier never previously announced the ranges as they were announced by
my customers routers, so they've maliciously started announcing them.

This, in my opinion is equivalent to denial-of-service due to a commercial
dispute.

My next steps are to contact their upstreams and inform them the provider
does not have the permission to announce these ranges and to please stop
them announcing them.  I will then contact Pipe to have them do the same.

Anyone have any other ideas?
