Frank, That's really interesting. I'm sending QRator an unfiltered BGP feed and that might be triggering the error(?). I'll try to filter my feed to QRator to deny the MICE prefix and see if that fixes it. Open to suggestions as well.

One of the most common reasons we see this is from ‘redist connected’ without any sanity check or prefix filter.

Two general schools of thought here: a.) carry the MICE prefix in your IGP (OSPF, ISIS, etc) - not BGP, if you need it to recurse next hops. While this is the ‘easy button’, it has the unintended impact of allowing things on your network to directly target MICE IPs which should be avoided - the only things we want talking to directly to MICE IP’s are other BGP speaking routers to establish BGP sessions. b.) set next-hop-self on your sessions on IXP facing router, so next hop is rewritten to the router itself towards the rest of your network. That way, you don’t need to carry the IX prefix in your IGP at all.
