Hello,
As several people have already observed here, AS 16735 announced
almost the whole Internet last night to two of its peers (AS 27664,
174213 routes and AS 22548, 111231 routes). These routes were not
propagated to the global Internet--and as Frederico A C Neves has
confirmed, it was a localized event.
For more detail on what happened, see Frederico's post [0] and the
BGPMon site's summary [1]. We also have a slightly more detailed
analysis here [2].
