This actually makes me thing that it might be worthwhile including these types of test to the regression testing suite.
I seem to recall one newish entrant to SP market explaining that they are limited by wall-time in blackbox testing. They would have no particularly challenge testing everything, but the amount of permutations and wall-time to execute single test simply makes it impossible to test comprehensively. So if you can't test everything, what do you test? How do you predict what is more likely to be broken? Focus on MTBF is fools errant, maybe someone like FB, AMZN, MSFT can do statistical analysis on outcome of change, rest of us are just guessing what we did increased MTBF, we don't have enough failures to actually know. Focus should be on MTTR. There are some commercial BGP fuzzers, I've only tested one of them: https://www.synopsys.com/software-integrity/security-testing/fuzz-testing/defensics/protocols/bgp4-server.html -- ++ytti
