Hi Jordi,

Have you done any analysis to check how big a problem it is in the APNIC
service region? for example check all (or may be a subset of) the
allocations and assignments by the APNIC along with their allocated ASN(s)
and see if those resources are originating from these ASN(s).

Regards,

Aftab A. Siddiqui
