We receive a disturbingly large amount of traffic sourced from the 1918

with 'CI').

This is particularly irritating since we pay for burstable service; nice
that we are paying for illegitimate traffic to come down our pipes.
Hello. I felt I had to write a small comment to this.

For the record, we use 1918 address range on several of our public routers meaning you will get legitimate traffic from this address space, atleast from us unless you are filtering it (which is of course all your decision). Filtering any type of traffic at all by a transit provider without the possibility to remove these filters _could_ be reason enough for us to terminate the contract with them since we would feel we were not paying for real internet connectivity.
