First, yes I know I should call AT&T but I want to know if anyone else sees this problem: I have a customer that is multi-homed to AT&T and WCOM. They accept "default" via BGP from both providers and announce a handful of prefixes to both providers. Given that they receive default, it's just the same as if they had a *static* default to both providers. The customer installed a "network mapping tool" today and suddenly discovered they were seeing RFC1918 addresses in the map (hundreds of them) that were *not* part of the customer's internal network. It turns out that from what we can tell, insightbb.com (an AT&T sub or customer) is probably unintentionally leaking 10/8 and AT&T is propogating that across their network. Since the customer defaults for any "unknown" destination, they're crossing the AT&T network. If my customer had been taking full routing, with appropriate filters of course, they wouldn't be seeing this. But given that they are taking default, they see it. So I just wanted to see if anyone that is defaulting to AT&T is seeing this same problem just to verify that what we're seeing is correct (for my customer's edification). Yes, I'm calling AT&T now :) -b
