the question is how soon the frr users out on the internet will upgrade. there are a lot of studies on this. it sure isn't on the order of a week
Which is, as usual, a pity, because, generally, synchronizing a piece of software with upstream security updates less frequently than once to twice in a week belongs in Jurassic Park today; and doing it hardly more frequently than once in 6 months, as ISPs usually do, clearly belongs in a bughouse.
(wonder if this FRR update has got a CVE number though)
So if I understand you correctly, your statement is that everyone should be (potentially) rebooting every core, backbone, edge, and other router at least once or twice a week… To quote Randy Bush… I encourage my competitors to try this. Owen
