Saudi Telecom ( AS 39386 ) is currently announcing Equinix NY9’s IX prefix, and Orange is gladly sharing that for the world to see.

Zayo : You might want to not be using that either when you’re directly connected to that exchange. :slight_smile:

Maybe. Would be for someone at Zayo to comment on.

Looks like 39386 has been ( and still is ) announcing the NY9 prefix since early June. ( Fix your filters, please. )

Not sure if Zayo is having an issue by which they would have started using the route via ST all of a sudden. In any event, Orange said they’re not passing it along anymore.
