A nuclear attack is, actually, a localized event. Pushing bad route advertisements out is a whole-network event. The internet wasn't designed to survive stupid router admins. :)
Which is why you *never* *never* *never* give someone access to a router running BGP unless you've seen them demonstrate competence with how it works and how to configure it. If you're big enough to warrant needing BGP on your network, you've probably got at *least* one spare router ...
*I* don't give temps access to *anything* unless absolutely necessary. -kelsey -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
