[c-nsp] Peer pointing default route to us

As Saku and Mark mentioned already peering boxes should not have a default route or full BGP table. 
You could either use a dedicated box or a vrf that carries only customer prefixes.  

But most importantly. 
Even though the above is not implemented they should not be able to exit your network via your upstream or peering links if you have the BCP 38 filtering implemented. 
Would you please consider implementing filters on your upstream links to only allow prefixes that you actually advertise to your upstreams to exit your network? 

It is really easy. 
Just check the routes you advertise via BGP to your upstreams and create filters based on the outputs. 
Apply the filters in the out direction. 
If someone starts to complain they are definitely doing something fishy.
