Hi Gert, thanks for your clarification! But you still get my point, do you? If a prefix was assigned to an entity other than the one that is advertising the prefix, for example: 80.187.128.0/22 Announcing: Deutsche Telekom AG (AS3320) Assigned: T-Mobile Deutschland GmbH (AS44178) The information (original prefix receiver) is stored in the RIPE DB, right? It could be compared to what we see via BGP. I am aware that a single entity can have multiple AS numbers, but when different entities are "involved", more transparency would be great. Or am i missing something here?
