It's hard to say without seeing what you're seeing and where you're seeing it.

Your router presumably has a default route, so if it receives a packet destined for 192.168.2.1, then that's where it will send it. If you aren't filtering that traffic, then it could make it all the way to your egress by following default routes (where your upstream probably drops it). You're the default route for your customer's router, so the same applies for them. Weird destination IP? Send it to default route.

yep, but those subnets aren't present on the network, first step on installation of a new mikrotik is default, remove config. Theres no routes in the tables to these subnets, and other than when I toss it on for testing those subnets don't exist anywhere in the network

Are you redistributing connected and/or static routes by chance?

I don't know if this is normal to see or what. I cant figure it out
We have sites that are all isolated by mikrotiks and use ospf between them

what I'm seeing is stuff like site A having a customer on 1.2.3.4 at both sites A and B I'm seeing conversations between 1.2.3.4 from site A and 192.168.2.1 at site B. Site B does not have the 192.168.2 subnet even present. when I put an IP in that subnet on site B mikrotik I see a MAC matching that IP, it is also present for an actual customer, we will say 5.6.7.8

I'm wondering if there isn't some form of tunnel between these two customers isolated by multiple routers that is leaking internal traffic out or something of that nature. I'm currently dropping that traffic now, I should have been from the get go, but what I don't understand is how, with no routes or subnets present this communication is even happening.

Scared me assumes the CIA hacked all my mikrotiks, then hijacked customer routers and are somehow using my network to mine bitcoin to fund black site operations. Reality tells me its misconfiguration somewhere on my part

any ideas?
