once upon a time, provider A and provider P were having a peering war,
and provider V provided valley transit for P's prefixes to A.  it was
not meant to be seen publicly, but the traceroutes were posted to nanog,
or maybe it was com-priv at the time.

this is far from the only time this has happened.
