One of our downstreams with a /20 had not nullrouted their /20, so any
nets not in use bounced back to us via their default route. This caused
approx 4-8 megabit of traffic on their line due to all the scanning. After
our customer put in a null route for their /20, the traffic problem
ceased.
The ping-pong routing was causing his 2600 to use a lot of cpu. I do
expect most people to null route their nets, but if someone hasn't, this
can cause problems due to scanning.
