so talk to your provider about deploying it, don't bash cisco who has already rolled new images
sigh.
and on the point of providers, do you really think they would continue to run code that causes them problems (whether cisco calls it a "bug" or an "optimization")? if providers thought it was a bug, then they would have anxiously awaited an announcement for an image that had the fix so that they could deploy it
You'd be amazed. Doing a router upgrade isn't a simple quick 5 second thing to do. That has to be planned, and if people see it as bugfix they are more likely to upgrade. I used to keep 1 weeks worth of BGP4 logs for all of my employers peers, now I can't keep 1 hours because of all the _crap_ I recieve from their routers. Regards, Neil. -- Neil J. McRae.
