We receive a disturbingly large amount of traffic sourced from the 1918 space destined for our network coming from one of our normally respectable Tier 1 ISP's (three letter acronym, starts with 'M', ends 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.
funny. you must be talking about a different internet. i hear there have been 'rumours out on the internets [sic]', maybe i'm just behind the times.. <g> all jokes aside, 1918 allows for use of 1918 space in a private network or a 'private internet [sic]' comprised of any such number of private networks as agree to interconnect and cooperate in routing traffic sourced from and destined to said space. it follows that any 1918-sourced traffic you send me is illegitimate. out of curiosity, what kind of 'legitimate traffic', considering i couldn't legitimately reply back, were you speaking of? p
