A closer look at a BGP anomaly in Venezuela
Qué respalda esta fuente
- Cloudflare Radar event 462460 screenshot records eight prefixes leaked by CANTV AS8048 and an origin count of two
- AS8048 learned routes from Sparkle AS6762 and exported them to GlobeNet AS52320
- Cloudflare prose attributes the discussed routes to Dayco Telecom AS21980; its relationship to the screenshot's two origins is unresolved
- Cloudflare prose describes announcements approximately 15:30–17:45 UTC on 2 January, while the screenshot lists a latest message on 3 January at 23:59; this is not a confirmed total duration
- repeated AS8048 prepending made the leaked path less attractive
- Cloudflare observed eleven similar AS8048 leaks since December
- insufficient BGP policy or route convergence was considered more likely than a targeted interception
Límites de la evidencia
Authoritative independent technical analysis of public routing telemetry, but Cloudflare explicitly cannot determine intent definitively and does not establish which path carried end-user traffic or a customer-wide outage. The prose and event screenshot differ in apparent origin count and observation window; their aggregation relationship is unresolved. Neither a complete duration nor one origin for all screenshot prefixes is established.
