No route to some AS nets from AS3320 (DTAG)
Hello!

During some tests I noticed that some As aren't reachable from AS3320,
but from other AS they are. On the destination AS some systems also
reply and are productive systems.

This affects time.nist.gov - a well-known NTP service.
If affects more, but I will start with that.

2610:20:6f97:97::4
AS49 US National Institute of Standards & Technology

I also did a RIPE atlas measurement that confirmed the destination is
reachable from many other ISPs, but not from AS3320.
https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/70072736/#probes

When using their looking glass, there is no route to the net
2610:20::/32.

https://lg.telekom.com/?queryTerm=*%2049&queryType=AsPathQuery&selectedVantagePoints=%5B%22Berlin%2C%20Germany%22%5D

HE's BGP toolkit shows that the net isn't listed in IRR nor RPKI signed.
https://bgp.he.net/AS49#_prefixes6

Is that maybe the reason the net isn't in their routing table?

Hi Marco,

I suppose one of the 3320 people will jump in and explain.
To me, it's a big oddity that 2160:2:: would not have an IRR record.
That's become very crucial to running a functioning service; many ISPs
filter on IRR record (presence).

Speculating...
Elmar.

The latter sounds reasonable, but according to my measurement this
seems to apply only to very few ISPs. I will continue to do tests,
especially in US where nist resides.

We see time.nist.gov as 2610:20:6f97::/48 - and the /32 does not seem
to exist here either. (There is a /37, though, and a route6: entry for
the /37 exists - but the /48 is not part of this /37).

This said, there indeed seems to be no route6: (I could find) for the /48...

32 was a typo by me.

Although, via probes in your AS, the destination is reachable.

We do accept /48s in general, and for practical reasons, we do not apply
strict "no route6: object, drop prefix" filters to our upstreams.

(We would drop the prefix on ROA invalid, but not on ROA unknown).

They did by email via their peering contact info in whois.

|we create IPv6 prefix filters for all bgp sessions on our edge routers,

|AS394018.

Now routing works fine from AS3320.
