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.
