Why do these routing leaks go through China and Russia so often?
>It also reveals that China Telecom, a major International carrier, has still implemented neither the basic routing safeguards necessary both to prevent the propagation of routing leaks nor the processes and procedures necessary to detect and remediate them in a timely manner when they inevitably occur.
So basically a lack of external pressure combined with a lack of caring about preventing this.
Could someone who's paranoid guess that this is done on purpose, the goal being to capture all the packets before sending them back towards the correct ISPs?
