Suspicious prefix announcements? Or RIS Peer malfunction?
This blog post discusses suspicious prefix announcements related to the A-Root, C-Root, and G-Root domain servers, which occurred simultaneously on May 19, 2023. We provide details of the announcements, including timestamps, prefixes, and AS paths, as captured by RIS Live.
Interestingly, the suspicious announcements were only picked up by only one RIS Peer. The blog post raises concerns about the low visibility of these announcements and suggests the possibility of a RIS peer malfunction.
