N.B.: DoD didn't "release" 11/8 in the same way that Interop "released" (i.e., gave back to ARIN) 45/8 several years ago [0]. What they did do was start advertising it into the global BGP routing table (technically, AS23352 did, as the post mentions) -- apparently ~5d6h ago, according to my routers. In addition, AS23352 is sending the ("informational") community "23352:41216" along with this prefix, which means that it was learned by a "customer" peering session at their Chicago, Illinois, POP: Community: 3356:3 3356:22 3356:100 3356:123 3356:575 3356:2042 23352:41216 The other communities attached to this prefix indicate that: a) ServerCentral is a Level 3 customer, and b) Level 3 is receiving the announcement from SC in Chicago. FWIW, I'm receiving the routes via Level 3 peering connections in both Chicago and Cincinnati, Ohio.
