The OUI prefixes that are Intel, Dell, HP, Supermicro and other x86-64
hardware vendors are almost certainly people running BIRD, FRR or similar
on commodity hardware. In which case the actual routing configuration could
be almost anything, those just happen to be the PCI-Express NICs in some
sort of server platform.

I just grabbed the following from our routers connected to LINX LON1, LINX

That's done using https://github.com/bauerj/mac_vendor_lookup to do the MAC
lookup against the IEEE OUI list with the "Unknown" entries being
anything which doesn't appear in http://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui.txt (possibly
locally administered addresses?).

Hope that's helpful to someone 🙂

Hi,

What you could consider is asking a few of the major internet exchanges if
they'd be so kind to send you a list of MAC addresses seen on their LANs.
Based on the MAC you can determine the manufacturer. If you have three or
four big ones, you have a decent sample size as most larger networks are on
multiple IXes anyway.

If you do compile a list, I'm sure this list would be interested in the
results :)

Thanks,

Sabri

Hi, I am working with MANRS (https://www.manrs.org) on a tool for
checking router configs for BGP security / spoofing prevention (e.g. uRPF)
https://github.com/manrs-tools/MANRS-validator

We are wondering if there is any research on the percentages of different
types of devices running BGP on the Internet.

Something like:

Cisco IOS 30%

Junos 30%

Mikrotik 20%

etc…

We are looking to focus our tool on the most prevalent types of devices
doing BGP (and the most prevalent with BGP security/spoofing issues) so
that we can have the greatest impact.  Does anyone have any information on
this or know where I can obtain this information?  Thanks in advance!
