Sending bad data is not acceptable. Cisco should not send bad data.I think that everyone agrees here... the question is, what penalty to apply and with what scope when some router spews bad data?
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? Joe
