I'm reasonable certain a customer of ours who is using one of our netblocks is using a different reverse path to reach us. How might I figure out who is allowing them to source traffic from IPs that belong to us?
It's been my experience that many providers do not care what address is used for sourcing traffic. This is why it is not uncommon to see traffic sourced from RFC1918 space coming across various providers networks. If more providers adopted BCP 38 this wouldn't be a problem, but that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon... I'd try to identify which providers the customer is connected to and take it from there... Stefan Fouant www.shortestpathfirst.net GPG Key ID: 0xB5E3803D
