Re: My ISP is routing traffic to private addresses...

[Justin Elze <formulals1 () gmail com>]

The idea behind private IP space is it doesn't leave the ISPs AS via BGP to
the rest of the internet.

On the topic of routing if you're router doesn't have a directly connected
route or specific route for 172.x.x.x/whatever it will automatically send
information to the default 0.0.0.0 route.

There could be a number of cases where you had private IP space in front of
a router/wap/whatever.

ISPs use prefix lists on their boarder BGP routers to explicitly allow
which ranges get redistributed to the rest of the internet.
