How about if there was a tool you could run against a BGP speaker which sent a series of deliberately pathological and bogus updates, and logged the behaviour of the box under test?
I haven't heard anybody say that vendor X, Y or Z are refusing to fix bugs when they are pointed out to them (quite the contrary). The trick would seem to be to report the bugs before they are found in the wild.
What BGP acceptance tests do people currently run against prospective vendors' hardware?

Does that expose the RFC3065 issue if you run it against vendor C's implementations? Joe
Yes. It can also be configured to do a variety of other things, and send all sorts of malformed information. It just takes time, patience, skill, and desire to configure it to do so. It also happens to be how some vendors, and providers, involved in this debacle confirmed the issue. .chance
