[members-discuss] Provider announcing IP ranges when they should not be.

Bill,

you should contact their upstream and in the meantime, you could try to announce more specific routes, in order to reduce the impact.
Of course, if the blocks are both /24, it’s not going to be very efficient as prefixes more specific than /24 will be probably filtered by your upstreams.
