Why did that make you feel safe? Other than a bug, and ignorance of BGP, what is unsafe about a lotta prepends?
Wasn't that it made me feel safe, but I do have to worry about my downstream customers who did exhibit the bug. As a provider, it falls within my goals to limit damage that might occur downstream in my customers' networks. Any time a bug in BGP that can be passed along rears its ugly head, I take notice and see what changes I might need to make to protect my downstream customers. To date, I haven't seen any of them affect my routers. I have also looked into issues with dampening, as I don't generally dampen myself, but some of the downstream BGP routers can't handle the processor load when things become extremely unstable. Jack
