isn't being advertised by Abovenet and so isn't in the local table at
all.
The /16 being propagated IS, however, and traffic for that host is
following that route via his Abovenet upstream connection (at which
point it's then discarded within Abovenet's network).
I wasn't aware Abovenet were forcing anyone to buy transit from then,
or forcing any of their downstreams to not use filters to block that
particular /16 announcement - is there something in the T&Cs I've not
noticed??
Of course, if Abovenet's policy is so abhorrent, I'm sure when they
lose their last paying transit customer they'll wake up to their
longtime folly ;)
