what i find really funny is that BGP has been open to attack for some time,BUT
the hacker`s themselfs won`t attack BGP ,because that would be attacking themselfes,because there way out (via the internet) is our way out ...and there would be no point in that.. yes i agree that BGP needs securing but DNS or IP are far more urgent ,as an attack on either one wouldn`t stop the attacker form carrying out the attack regards steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "The Long and Winding Road" To: Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2003 3:15 AM Subject: Re: Who likes BGP?
