The problem with GRH is that people tend to send unfiltered IBGP to it
instead of a properly filtered EBGP stream. Thus GRH sees all kind of
more-specific/internal junk that noone else will see, resulting in
"false positives".

To me, this report will only have a real meaning when all GRH peers are
only sending an EBGP feed which they would also send a downstream BGP
customer. Unfortunately, that's largely not the case so I stopped
looking at the report a looong time ago.

Best regards,
Daniel
