you might be amused to write a bit of code to see if your ix peers are giving you next-hops of other provider(s). it is clear that a number of providers are selling transit across the ixs. not at all cool.
we can't decide whether to force next hop on their routes, or keep watching and de-peer them if they do not cease and desist. what do others do in this circumstance?
I know of two major providers who are (well were 12 months ago) doing this. I would call them up and try to get them to quit, if not and you can afford it force next hop. -- Check out the new CLEC mailing list at http://www.robotics.net/clec
