hrm..that's odd! 
i can confirm that this is not something that we are doing  (as i explained;  it can't be anyway, since there's a middle ASN between us...)
so it's got to be something that the L3 IXP operator is doing.  

this is also very wrong;  basically, it's imposing a routing policy that the route originator (in this case, PCH) did not intend.  
now the ET story makes more sense (also;  this is still bad for your customer).   so yes, we definitely need to get this removed.

perhaps m.osama can help explain ?
