bearing in mind that transit providers rarely give you communities to
influence their customers, just peers. There is an illusion of control
that provider no export communities provide that always requires
confirmation when applied. if 1312 buys the full internet cone they can
also install a default. so they can send you packets even if they in
fact do not have your route.

my assumption is there is more default out there then generally assumed
and work to replicate the findings in

http://www.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/~steve/papers/imc099-bush.pdf

would probably find the same thing.
