For the second time in two weeks, bad networking information spreading from China has disrupted the Internet.
On Thursday morning, bad routing data from a small Chinese ISP called IDC China Telecommunication was re-transmitted by China’s state-owned China Telecommunications, and then spread around the Internet, affecting Internet service providers such as AT&T, Level3, Deutsche Telekom, Qwest Communications and Telefonica.
“There are a large number of ISPs who accepted these routes all over the world,” said Martin A. Brown, technical lead at Internet monitoring firm Renesys.
