imiho, researchers injecting data into the control plane are responsible to have tested it at least against major bgp speakers. and, considering its placement in the net (big core), i consider ios xr to be a major speaker.
i suspect that these folk will test better next time. i sure hope so.
Not sure the researcher can afford to buy a ios xr and may not have access to one !

while this is undoubtedly true for hobbiest researchers, there are pretty good relationships between vendors and some research facilities with a strong interst in ensuring there is external review of the code base(es). (I am personally aware of at least five such facilities...:) hence I am going to have to echo Randys sentiments. This was just sloppy. --bill
