IPv6 prefix announced, but nothing inside is responding yet. AS203462 announces 9 IPv6 prefix(es) to the global routing table - that’s the part that BGP and our route-server scrape confirm. But our active discovery (curated hostnames, holder-derived domains, authoritative DNS NS/SOA/MX, certificate-transparency hostnames, RIPE Atlas, RDAP, IPv6 Hitlist) found no ICMPv6-responsive host inside the prefix on either vantage, and a yarrp pass against random addresses inside the prefix produced zero in-prefix hops (no router on the path through the AS replied with Time-Exceeded for any random target). That combination usually means the announcement is configured but the addresses inside aren’t in active use yet. The BGP route is there; the operational deployment is still ahead.

ASPA: this AS has published an ASPA record listing 3 upstream provider(s) that are authorized to propagate routes from it: AS1299, AS6762, AS9002. Routes from this AS that arrive via any other upstream are considered ASPA-invalid by validators that enforce ASPA.

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

We probed 30 arbitrary IPv6 address(es) inside AS203462's announced prefix(es). No router inside the prefix responded. The deepest visible hop was 2001:7f8:4::3:1ac6:1 at hop 7 - that router does not answer ICMPv6 Echo. This is not in AS203462'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.

Attempt log (odin):

  3. tls → no_tcp: TLS connect failed
  4. http → no_tcp: tcp/80 not open

To match the corresponding ICMPv6 packet on your side (host firewall, AS edge, or transit tap), look for our PTBs around the timestamps above:

sudo tcpdump -i any -n -e 'icmp6 and ip6[40] = 2 and (src host 2607:fae0:a000::42 or src host 2a00:8642:42::75 or src host 2a12:d8c0:105a:9001::a154)'

If you see our PTBs arriving but the destination's TCP/Echo flow does not shrink, the drop is in the destination kernel (cause 3 below). If you don't see them at all, drop is upstream of you (cause 2). If you only see them from one of our two source IPs, the drop is path-asymmetric — one transit on the asymmetric route is filtering, the other is not.
