Dear Colleagues,
As you may be aware from recent news reports, traffic to the
youtube.com website was 'hijacked' on a global scale on Sunday, 24
February 2008. The incident was a result of the unauthorised
announcement of the prefix 208.65.153.0/24 and caused the popular
video sharing website to become unreachable from most, if not all, of
the Internet.
The RIPE NCC conducted an analysis into how this incident was seen
and tracked by the RIPE NCC's Routing Information Service (RIS) and
has published a case study at:
http://www.ripe.net/news/study-youtube-hijacking.html
The RIPE NCC RIS is a service that collects Border Gateway Protocol
(BGP) routing information from roughly 600 peers at 16 Internet
Exchange Points (IXPs) across the world. Data is stored in near real-
time and can be instantly queried by anyone to provide multiple views
of routing activity for any point in time.
The RIS forms part of the RIPE NCC's suite of Information Services,
which together provide a deeper insight into the workings of the
Internet. The RIPE NCC is a neutral and impartial organisation, and
commercial interests therefore do not influence the data collected.
The RIPE NCC Information Services suite also includes the Test
Traffic Measurement (TTM) service, the DNS Monitoring (DNSMON)
service and Hostcount. All of these services are available to anyone,
and most of them are offered free of charge.
More information about RIPE NCC Information Services can be found at:
