       | data you're leaking to AS8003 (now AS749). May be worth a check,
       | and if so, start a free trial of Kentik to do so.
       | 
       | Not that I don't appreciate the free trial offer. But before
       | getting into data characteristics, I'm curious which addresses
       | should be examined in a cursory internal look-see?

       | 
       | The questions that started to surface included: Who is AS8003?
       | Why are they announcing huge amounts of IPv4 space belonging to
       | the U.S. Department of Defense? And perhaps most interestingly,
       | why did it come alive within the final three minutes of the Trump
       | administration?_
       | 
       | From the linked article on top, as background info. Quite
       | interesting.
