Testing in court the idea that you may not advertise my routes would be a fascinating exercise. If you falsely advertised them it would be a different matter.
Hi Karl, I'm having trouble seeing the nit you're picking. I can't compel you to announce my BGP route but if you do announce it and your announcement is inconsistent with my own then by definition it's false. If your announcement is consistent with my own then you're propagating the route as intended and I have no cause for complaint.
Has this sort of thing been tested in the courts at all? In any jurisdiction?
So far as I know, network operators have interceded and the false routes have been withdrawn long before any route hijacking cases would have gone to court.
