Can anyone verify whether Cisco still does BGP this way? (Propagate, then kill origionating session). If so, it rather clearly answers the question about how this managed to make it throughout the network...
I'm fairly sure that is not the case anymore.
(For the record: I'm not trying to Cisco-bash here. All vendors have problems, and when you have a huge market share, your problems tend to show up much more obviously, when they appear. However, Cisco does still have a huge market share, meaning this affected a whole lot of people, if true... so, I'm curious).
From what I can tell this time it was not ciscos fault. It appears that the vendor that had the problem just had an issue with a specific "valid" announcement that others propogated to it. What is interesting is one could use this to see what providers are using vendor "X" at exchange points. - Jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared@puck.nether.net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
