<div>The problem is you're announcing the aggregate prefixes of your customer's customers to your upstream providers and the traffic from your upstreams to those networks will be routed through the IX (instead of your customer connection) because of the longer prefix effect and so you're not charging the traffic and you're losing revenue!!!
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I think in this case, you have to filter all those prefixes learnt from the IX.</div>

<div>you should honor your customers routing policy and simply accept the routes.</div>
