RE: BGP Exploit

["Smith, Donald" <Donald.Smith () qwest com>]

No. The router stays up. The tool I use is very fast. It floods the GIGE
to the point that that interface is basically unusable but the router
itself stays up only the session is torn down. I did preformed these
tests in a lab and did
not have full bgp routing tables etc ... so your mileage may vary.
