omit something but according to your explaination, you did not mention anyhing about ISP Y's routing policy.
Y's routing policy should effect both blocks in the same way however, and not be an issue - so long as they haven't decided to specifically route the block strangely.
Not necessary but it should ...
I'm actually dumbing down this problem as we obviously have more than just 2 peers and certainly more than 1 AS-hop at play here, but if I can get an answer to why this is happening I can reason it out from there.
Now you are speaking. That is the problem though I don't know why. other politics, I meant policies. We have similar problems. some of our block is annouced one way and another block are annouced other way though we are not doing anything really special. What makes even worse that though for some BGP path is annouced but because of filtering, it is not really a path. :~< I can almost bet that someone on your AS_PATH knows what is going on your BGP annoucement. One of the way to solve the problem is ask everyone on AS_Path to see anyone is really doing something. That's I am intend to do for my case. Any better idea?
In theory, someone else other than you can change BGP route update infomation, but I don't think it is the case or perhaps?
Theoretically people are not tweaking the routes, atleast thats what I am told.
Oh well, back to pounding my head against a wall and watching the History channel.
