Is that a competition in sarcasm? Because I can do better than that!

Finding forwarding issues indeed is harder due to the limited access

Or, rather, security by complexity. Today's network infrastructure is
complex
enough for people to dive into it, looking for all the underlying
issues. Right, it
still saves us the day, though today's Web JS frontend is also quite
complex
but it's of no help.

I don't know about that,
All modern NPUs are based on the models well explained to the sufficient
level in Stanford lectures and other materials which you can download
freely.
Once you learn how an ideal routing system architecture should look like
you can start discovering flaws in the vendor NPU blueprints.
But the best fun is to put IXIA or Spirent in loop with your favourite
carrier router.
What I'm trying to say is it's not that complex to find these routing
system architecture shortcomings  - they will come out of the basic
platform testing.
