[Dave D]

Hello all,

 So I have 2 Juniper M20 Routers running   Junos 7.6R4.3


  Last night I started to get this message in my logs

Apr 10 15:44:59  juniper2  rpd[94308]: bgp_nexthop_sanity: peer X.X.X.X
(Internal AS (AS# ) next hop (L) local, ignoring routes in this update
And I keep seeing this message over and over again,
does anyone know offhand what it might be?
has anyone ever encountered this issue before?

any help is appreciated.
