I got to know that this WES is really a bogus pNLA from Poland using ASN7170
when peering with ATT-LABS-EUROPE and VIAGENIE. The administrator address is
probably ser@serek.arch.pwr.wroc.pl. I am also sending Cc to ASN2020
administrator new address (wiget@pld.org.pl) who has just cleaned the mess at
his site.

Again IKARNET->false_WES path but maybe ZETs (tomek@ze.tarnow.pl) fault in this
case. Cc to him also.

thanks for announcing/letting me know, I was able to mediate to some extent

R.
PS. Just now the bogus routes disappeared completely, I hope that forever.
