The results were predictable. This /19 has been repeatedly squatted on in recent years, as shown by RIPEstat: https://stat.ripe.net/widget/routing-history#w.resource=206.195.224.1 2016-08-15 AS42861 RU Foton Telecom, CJSC Network Operation Centre 2017-12-08 AS65075 -- {{reserved ASN}} 2018-03-26 AS28191 BR Jupiter Telecomunicacoes e Informatica Ltda 2019-08-24 AS20473 US Choopa, LLC 2019-10-11 AS12679 RU Iceberg Telecom Ltd. The 206.195.224.0/19 block is currently being squatted on by AS12679, Iceburg Telecom (Moscow). It appears that this ASN is also and likewise squatting on a great number of other blocks as well: https://bgp.he.net/AS12679#_prefixes AS12679 (Iceburg) appears to be a "leaf" ASN, connected to the public Internet only via AS25227 (Avantel, Close Joint Stock Company, Moscow) which it turn appears to be getting more than 3/4ths of its own IPv4 connectivity from AS9002 (RETN): https://bgp.he.net/AS25227 Suggest filtering all route announcements from both AS12679 -and- also AS25227 until they each decide if they would like to be part of the civilized internet. ====================================================================== [Source: whois://whois.arin.net 2020-01-27 04:18:39 UTC] NetRange: 206.195.224.0 - 206.195.255.255 CIDR: 206.195.224.0/19 NetName: THRIFT-NET-1 NetHandle: NET-206-195-224-0-1 Parent: NET206 (NET-206-0-0-0-0) NetType: Direct Assignment OriginAS: AS12679 Organization: Thrift Drug, Inc.
