I've lived though one of these a few years ago, the core itself stayed up though crippled as it was :) David, you name sounds familiar have we worked @ the same place before? -Jim -----Original Message----- From: David Barak [mailto:thegameiam@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 5:27 PM To: Jim Deleskie; nanog@merit.edu Subject: RE: Router crash unplugs 1m Swedish Internet users I've seen a case where a single error in the configuration file of a $VENDOR_1 router was accepted (due to an 'undocumented feature'), and this caused the wholesale importation of BGP routes into the IGP, which caused most of their $VENDOR_2 hardware to spaz out. Locating the single error was a matter of hours, not minutes, so effectively a typo took out that ISP - and it's considered by most to be a relatively well-designed network. -David Barak --- Jim Deleskie <jdeleski@rci.rogers.com> wrote:

One router and it takes there entire network off-line... Maybe someone needs a Intro to Networks 101 class.
