Marcus,

From route-views output, it looks like AS9498/airtel is probably leaking your route between two of its upstreams (AS6453/Tata and AS4637/Telstra) overseas, funneling some of your traffic through their router.

You might try halting advertisements to your AS4637/Telstra peer while you contact AS9498.

huh… us-carrier → tata → airtel → telstra … that seems TOTALLY PLAUSIBLE… no.

I have tried to reach out to Airtel, no response yet, but yah I could see my issue being due to them leaking routes.

-Marcus

9498/Airtel seems to be leaking a lot of routes.

I don’t know what’s less surprising, Tata making sure you see the entire internet (wink wink), or Airtel leaking routes… :slight_smile:

Airtel has acknowledged and is in the process of reverting. Thanks all for your input.

-Marcus

I have shared about this leak with known contacts in their NOC.

Thanks.
