imiho, researchers injecting data into the control plane are responsible to have tested it at least against major bgp speakers. and, considering its placement in the net (big core), i consider ios xr to be a major speaker. i suspect that these folk will test better next time. i sure hope so.
I think you blame the wrong people. The vendor should make sure that their implementation does not violate the very basics of the BGP protocol. This bug in the IOS XR BGP implementation was a ticking time bomb and it was just a matter of when it would blow up. I suspect that Cisco will test better next time when they release a new version of their software. I sure hope so. -- :wq Claudio
