Please implement an AS-PATH filter on your outbound to your
upstreams blocking yourself from re-annoucing their routes to them.

You can see many of these cases here:

http://puck.nether.net/bgp/leakinfo.cgi

eg:

41.217.236.0/24 852 3561 6453 15399 15399 15399 174 3491 33770 36997 37063 37113

15399 (Wananchi Online Limited) is leaking their upstream (Cogent) routes to TATA (6453)
