Scott, re "the youtube engineer's fix" from the ripe page of advertising 2
/25's to be longer prefix matches then the /24 pakistan was hijacking-

Don't most providers deny 0.0.0.0/0 ge 25

Anyway?

Who accepted a /25?

Or all these years have I been fooled into thinking only
0.0.0.0/0 le 24 will work?

Thanks,

Joe

This is why filtering in BGP (in and out) is a good idea. But also a
demonstration of lack-of-BGP skills on a global basis!

Marketing opportunity? :)

As you may be aware from recent news reports, traffic to the youtube.com
website was 'hijacked' on a global scale on Sunday, 24 February 2008.
The incident was a result of the unauthorized BGP announcement of the prefix
208.65.153.0/24 and caused the popular video sharing website to become
unreachable from most, if not all, of the Internet.
