AS overview
Test target: 2a12:eec0::1 · (no live host found) · address space: PA · prefixes announced: 1
prefix(es): 2a12:eec0::/32
MIX-IT / NAMEX / MINAP / TOP-IX / VSIX / EQUINIX-MILAN / BGPX-ROME / NAMEX-BARI / PCIX / DECIX-PALERMO peering
Not an MIX-IT / NAMEX / MINAP / TOP-IX / VSIX / EQUINIX-MILAN / BGPX-ROME / NAMEX-BARI / PCIX / DECIX-PALERMO member, but our traceroute path crosses the MIX-IT / NAMEX / MINAP / TOP-IX / VSIX / EQUINIX-MILAN / BGPX-ROME / NAMEX-BARI / PCIX / DECIX-PALERMO LAN from SLO host (6connect) - reached via an MIX-IT / NAMEX / MINAP / TOP-IX / VSIX / EQUINIX-MILAN / BGPX-ROME / NAMEX-BARI / PCIX / DECIX-PALERMO-resident transit operator.
RPKI & ASPA
1 of 1 prefix(es) covered by a valid ROA.
| Prefix | RPKI state | Reason | Covering VRP(s) |

Random-IP probe (yarrp) into the AS' prefixes
We probed 15 arbitrary IPv6 address(es) inside AS207989's announced prefix(es). No router inside the prefix responded. The deepest visible hop was 2a12:e6c0:1:2::2 at hop 10 - that router does not answer ICMPv6 Echo. This is not in AS207989'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
Type 2 active test inconclusive: no Echo Reply to 1300-byte probe.

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.
