Only I drop my unallocated/private packets at my core routers, if you set
up routes to ARIN/whoever then I would transmit out those packets and my
transits would carry them for me if I dont connect directly..
extra traffic all round really. why not just let the core routers bin the
rogue packets? (ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 null0)
