I have seen dueling routes more often than I'd like to recall. No one wants to use space that isn't 100% routable. Assuming A has any peers, some traffic will go there and dead-end. Any customer in the block will be unhappy. B will eventually give up. A would be foolish to assign customers in the block until B has given up. If A is a much better connected network than B (since B is acting like an ass) the process is much more definitive.
When in doubt, A's lawyers contacting B usually helps them convince C to stop it. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras () e-gerbil net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras PGP Key ID: 0x138EA177 (67 29 D7 BC E8 18 3E DA B2 46 B3 D8 14 36 FE B6)
