Hello. I felt I had to write a small comment to this.
For the record, we use 1918 address range on several of our public routers
meaning you will get legitimate traffic from this address space, atleast
from us unless you are filtering it (which is of course all your decision).
Filtering any type of traffic at all by a transit provider without the
possibility to remove these filters _could_ be reason enough for us to
terminate the contract with them since we would feel we were not paying for
real internet connectivity.
