It was dodo injecting about 3 million routes into Telstra Internet Direct network (csco CRS1) from Telstra there are a number of ebgp sessions to REACH (http://www.reach.com/network/overview.php)  which has approx 16k prefix limit on ebgp routes, meaning that reach would have torn down each bgp session, leaving everyone connected to Telstra no route out of aus.

I thought it was a power failure at a Telstra site today...?

The moral of the story: Filter BGP prefixes from your customers lest they tell you they have the internet.

you'd think the big T would have learned from the last few times it's happened to them.

Though I guess you can't cover everything, I remember the horrible day that British Telecom advertised 203/8 (and a few others, but that's the one that hit my team), taking out a lot of stuff in Aus.

Lols.. an oldy but a goody.

and yes - you _would_ have thought they had it covered.  Clearly not enough security consultants in Telstra ;)

It's pretty amazing that still isn't standard practice ;-(

'BT', one of the few groups that makes me wish I was dealing with Telstra . . .

Out of curiosity - when a BGP session gets disconnected, do all the
routes that were received from that neigbour get removed immediately?
