AS60087 ASSUPERNOVA Netsons s.r.l.

IPv6 prefix announced, but nothing inside is responding yet. AS60087 announces 1 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.

AS overview

Test target: 2a03:a500::1 · (no live host found) · address space: PA · prefixes announced: 1

prefix(es): 2a03:a500::/32

RPKI & ASPA

1 of 1 prefix(es) covered by a valid ROA.

Prefix	RPKI state	Reason	Covering VRP(s)
`2a03:a500::/32`	✓ valid	matched VRP (correct origin, length within maxLength)	AS60087 /32 maxLen 32 (ripe)

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

We probed 15 arbitrary IPv6 address(es) inside AS60087's announced prefix(es). No router inside the prefix responded. The deepest visible hop was 2001:4b78:2::c2 at hop 21 - that router does not answer ICMPv6 Echo. This is not in AS60087'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):

icmp6-echo → no_echo: no Echo Reply to 1300-byte probe
dns-tcp → no_tcp: connect failed: [Errno 113] No route to host
tls → no_tcp: TLS connect failed
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.
