oddly VZ used to be quite good about filtering customer seesions :( there ARE cases where: "customer says they may announce X" and that doesn't happen along a path expected :( For instance they end up announcing a path through their other transit to a prefix in the permitted list on the VZ side :( it doesn't seem plausible that that is what was happening here though, I don't expect the duquesne folk to have customer paths to (for instance) savi moebel in germany... there are some pretty fun as-paths in the set of ~25k prefixes leaked (that routeviews saw).
