Airtel fixed the bogus announcement at 04:40 UTC today. Looking back at the data, Orange/GTT/NTT/Cogent also accepted the /3 via Sparkle (TI), from Airtel. GTT's acceptance was down to a (now fixed) JunOS config gotcha

@bgptools Thanks BGP Ben for the alert! It turns out that prefix-length checking does contain some hidden man-traps

This halfed the number of RPKI ROV Validating ASNs according to (via RIPE Atlas) because those networks accepted the /3 and one of the probe IPs is inside 96.0.0.0/3

Looks like AS9498 (Bharti Airtel) typod a /32, /31 or /30. And turned it into a /3 (aka, 12.5% of the IPv4 internet) and other carriers (At least TI & GTT) accepted it!

This seems to come off the back of Cogent trying to establish a market in APAC, and the main players in that region not wanting to have their market eaten away by Cogent (To be fair, Cogent is very good at getting prices down, and APAC is still quite expensive per mbps).

Due to this Networks that are single homed behind AS6453 (in APAC) or AS174 will not be able to reach each other. This is similar but more serious to the previous regional NTT-Cogent depeerings (since the NTT ones "just" increased latency by routing via the US instead).

(The previous TATA-Cogent Full depeering post was wrong). It appears that TATA-Cogent have partially depeered in APAC. Cogent can't see APAC (notably India) routes anymore. It seems based on statements Cogent has initiated this depeering (Some EU/US routes seem to still be find)
