Hi, again, here is a new route flap report. The villains from the top of the previous report have apparently fixed their problem, but a few ASes again manage to get the dubious position at the top of the list with more than 20.000 route flaps in the 24 hours from Oct 12 03:05 GMT to Oct 13 03:05 GMT. Again I would like to draw to your attention the fact that some destinations are apparently being originated by more than one AS. These show up in the report with more then one origin. I was under the impression that thsi is an illegal or highly undesireable configuration; I would still like to hear some comments on this issue.

"flaps" is the sum of "retr" and the number of times the route was updated (e.g. new path) "retr" is the number of times a route was withdrawn (retracted) "unrch" is the number of withdrawals which caused loss of connectivity for a destination "dests" is the number of destinations involved in route flaps "AS description" was what the RIPE database told me last time I looked up the AS descriptions or AS names. Excluded from this picture are any routes involving as-sets (there are a number of routing flaps involving them as well, I'll hopefully get some time to analyzing them separately sometime later...). Attached below you will find a more detailed report showing the number of times each individual path was announced for each of the entries on the "top 20" list, I can also easily (on request) produce a "per-network" report for any given AS.
