Hello,

from observations of BGP tables, I came to the conclusion that MRTD
has a bug processing withdrawals of routing announcements. It looks
like this bug leads to the well-known phantom prefixes with huge AS
paths, coming together with routing loops.

I haven't yet tried to reproduce it.

Has anyone already taken a deeper look into it?
