[AusNOG] Telstra using US DOD IP's like they are RFC1918

[Nathan Brookfield]

Morning All,


So I've been asked by a customer to explain a traceroute, after reviewing it and telling them to contact Telstra because the hop count out of the Telstra network is putrid, I noticed something else unusual/concerning:


[cid:0663ac35-7971-41ac-8149-0d776044190d]


Any idea's on why Telstra are using 30.0.0.0 addresses as if it's RFC1918 private IP space, surely this is the oversight of someone who needs to find a new job.


This IP space belongs to the US Department of Defense.... WTF?


Kindest Regards,

Nathan Brookfield (VK2NAB)
