a message of 52 lines which said:

   192.0.2.0/24 - This block is assigned as "TEST-NET" for use in

   documentation.  Addresses within this block should not appear on the
   public Internet.

That /24 doesn't show up in BGP

Somebody clipped the "unless something is broken" part of that statement.

It SHOULD NOT show up, but it does (ROSPRINT-AS, AS2854, does announce
it and, among others, routeviews.org sees it).

So the simple conclusion is ROSPRINT-AS is broken. BTW, that route doesn't seem to propogate very far. I don't see it via Level3, Above.net, or TWTC. What I do see when looking at my incoming distribute list is that someone seems to keep trying to announce exactly 192/8.
