Niels - this was an issue with the internet exchange netblock being leaked out to upstream providers and causing peering adjacencies to be established through indirect paths. It wasn't an issue with the router and it wasn't an issue with a peer. Thanks for your concern though... I think we got it handled now :) Stefan Fouant: NeuStar, Inc.

Any good clueful network Engineers from Equinix on-list? If so,

contact me off-line as I noticed some oddball network behavior at some of your peering points.
You do realise that the people who run an Internet exchange only manage the Ethernet switch and have no influence on participants' routing, right?
If you're seeing odd things on your router directly connected to the IX switch you should have a better way of contacting your vendor than through the nanog mailing list.
