How about if there was a tool you could run against a BGP speaker

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?
