Could be this..?

"unrecognized transitive attributes" depend on whatever code version you are running... What's more important is how the unrecoginized attribute is handled.  Ideally you accept and pass the route and log it.  The problem is with devices that aren't so graceful.. dropping sessions and wreaking havoc:

with in the span of couple of hours this prefix was originated from 3 ASN i.e. AS3561 (Savvis), AS8866 (BTC) and AS25019 (STC original custodians).

As per the STC it was orginated by one of their customer having Juniper router. but I still don't understand why/how they are adv this prefix with unrecog transitive attributes.

Can any one suggest.
