Announcing a reserved ASN?

AS23456 is currently announcing a good few netblocks (which don't have a very good smtp reputation, by the way). Funny thing is, that's a special use ASN as per rfc4893, something about two octet ASNs that don't have a four octet representation. Only one upstream (airtelbroadband-as-ap, as24560)

AS23456 is what you get if your system doesn't properly support 32-bit ASNs and an AS-PATH (or peer) uses a 32-bit ASN. There should be an extended attribute on the route that contains the full 32-bit AS-PATH called AS4_PATH associated with any such routes. Arguably any route containing AS23456
