I hope you are as critical of your hardware vendor that cannot accept BGP4 compliant attributes or have you just not updated your code?  You can black hole anything you want but as long as the “Internet” is sending you an RFC compliant BGP you better be able to handle it.



I'd go further and say that as long as you're connected to the Internet, your equipment better be resilient when receiving packets with any combination of bits set, RFC compliant or not.
