I beg to differ - 3/4 of the Cisco routers in (enterprise) production are *unmaintained*. These will have a variety of vulnerable, buggy or just plain crap IOS versions and no-one would've even considered upgrading for years. If filters depend on IOS upgrades then those filters are there to stay. ISPs will of course feed their routers more often, but to be honest anyone else looks at their network kit only when there's something far wrong with it. -- Will
