You are mis-reading this because the 172 addresses are not routeable. In a traceroute, a router can say that it is any IP address it likes, but that does not mean that you can traceroute to 172.x.y.z... It just means that the routers are most likely using those IP addresses for private interconnect
Yea, well, just 'cause it isn't routable doesn't mean people won't advertise it. I see that Sprint is still winning the bogus route advertisements war with: 1.1.1/30 1.1.1.4/30 1.1.1.8/30 1.1.1.12/30 1.1.1.16/30 1.1.1.20/30 1.1.1.24/30 2.52.228.144 Funny how when someone starts a bogus advertisement it is almost always sprint or a sprint customer.
