Great news!

A Tuesday is a perfect day for that, Asia is by then in the middle of the week, and you still have 3 days to revert if it causes an anomaly ;)

Though I expect none of that, we'll be able to see it quickly anyway with the IRR Explorer:

https://irrexplorer.nlnog.net/asn/AS112

Which should turn the yellow ones green.

Seems 109.205.193.0/24 + 2a01:fb01::/32 references a bunch of ASNs it should not, but those are properly considered invalid. And as can be expected, there is a lot of junk in RADB.


For those doing updates of IRR/RPKI data, mostly that is on a daily basis, thus we should also see any side-effects of that on Thursday or so, enough time still for folks to fix their operational messes.

I'll give a heads-up to some communities so that folks are aware of the change, just in case. [and anyway, if reachability to AS112 is broken, one gets a wee bit of resolver slowdown for things one should not be looking up in the first place, thus eh.... it is not some virgin site going dark ;) ]
