- Why is Twitter announcing these prefixes? <br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I have no idea. Something has gone wrong here and the address has come back to the RIR and Twitter apper to be unaware of this.<br clear="none"></blockquote><div><br clear="none"></div><div>No, Twitter is absolutely aware of this issue, I alerted their NOC when I got the result this morning from CIDR report (yes, I scrop your data daily) but unfortunately there response was "This prefix is valid and owned by us in RIPE region. Please do your homework before making incorrect accusations." But atleast I tried.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="yiv3321781041gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
- How and why is this prefix in RADB, given that it is unallocated space? <br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Good question - I wonder what periodic checks the RADB undertakes on the data held in its registry?<br clear="none"></blockquote><div><br clear="none"></div><div>No idea, it should be triggered right away when the RIR, who is the authentic source of these resources marked them "Unalloacted".

- Why do upstream AS’s accept these advertised prefixes? <br clear="none">

Maybe they chose to believe that RADB performs robust periodic integrity checks?
