On the surface, this appears to be correct.
Indeed. But, why stop with this very superficial analysis? Why can't we dig deeper into such details as: - who started announcing cruft, and to who? - which vendor's hardware/software passed it along, and which dropped their BGP sessions, as they're currently required to? - which providers were impacted, and to what extent? and so on. I'm sure most of us know the answers to these questions by now, and those who don't, should. Shame we're all forbidden from discussing things further in a truly open manner due to NDA. This was not the case in the not-so-distant past; hopefully the climate will change in time for future multi-provider incidents of operational concern. -adam
