AS overview

Test target: 2a03:aee0:4:1:1:1:0:2 · civitanet.com · address space: unknown · prefixes announced: 9

prefix(es): 2a03:aee4::/32, 2a03:aee6::/32, 2a03:aee2::/32, 2a03:aee3::/32, 2a03:aee5::/32, 2a03:aee7::/32, 2a03:aee0::/32, 2a03:aee0::/29 (+1 more)

Random-IP probe (yarrp) into the AS' prefixes

We probed 30 arbitrary IPv6 address(es) inside AS198257's announced prefix(es). No router inside the prefix responded. The deepest visible hop was 2a06:eb00:0:3::16 at hop 8 - that router answers ICMPv6 Echo. This is not in AS198257's announced prefix; operationally it's the AS-edge / peering interface (often on an IXP peering address or an upstream's /127 link). The traceroute boundary is the AS edge: ICMPv6 Time-Exceeded responses from anything inside this AS are filtered.

ICMPv6 Type 2 (Packet Too Big) acceptance - active test

Vantage points disagree about Type 2 acceptance - transit ASes on one path may be filtering Type 2 even though the destination's stack accepts it on another path:

• NL host (go6lab): Type 2 honored. Forged PTB accepted; next response shrunk. (ICMPv6 Echo + forged PTB)
• ITA host (Karsolink): Type 2 NOT honored. Forged PTB had no effect (filtered en route or stack ignored it). (TLS handshake + forged PTB)
• SLO host (6connect): Type 2 honored. Forged PTB accepted; next response shrunk. (ICMPv6 Echo + forged PTB)

Why they disagree - different probe methods: These vantages picked different probe methods, so their verdicts are not directly comparable. The active test tries methods in order (icmp6-echo → dns-tcp → tls → http) and stops at the first that produces a definitive verdict; if the chosen method differs, the underlying evidence differs too. Most often this is because the path PMTU on one vantage is below 1500 B, so the natural Echo Reply is already fragmented and the icmp6-echo method falls through to a TCP-based one. This is largely a measurement artifact, not a destination-behaviour difference.
