All, I haven¹t posted something to Nanog in probably 10 years so forgive my
ignorance on protocol. I am sure this has been posted about but while I
figure out how to search the archivesŠ.

I see Ripe DB, Maxmind and many others have AS209 associated with the
company Novartis. Did I miss something because ARIN whois shows it
different. If this is wrong, it seems the source of the error is
db.ripe.net.

guessing that 209 registered some objects on behalf of novartis/customer?
novartis isn't qwest who's now centurylink anyway.

Thanks Chris. That is what I assumed as well. Some automatic route object
registration went awry. Was hoping someone from Qwest/CenturyLink would
jump in and fix it as many of the GEOIP databases automated tools use
descr field.

No further comment required. It was just peeving me a bit so figured I
would send something out on it.
