I've seen them with default timers.  I don't know if they were
mismatched.

There is a feature called unknown unicast flood blocking (UUFB).  It
might be available for your platform, too.

Run this:

on a router in the DFZ.  (I get a single prefix, 193.110.32.0/21,
right now.)

In general, it means that both peers successfully established a TCP
connection, and one connection was closed.  This happens from time to
time and does not indicate a problem.

(Or do you mean what it means for this specific IOS version?  Sorry,
in this case I have to pass.)

Subnets smaller than /64 containing (conceptually) global unicast
addresses are not allowed per the IPv6 addressing architecture RFC.
So it's just another case of vendors got bitten by RFCs that don't
match customer requirements. 8-/

On a MSFC2/PFC2, enabling uRPF cuts the number of available routes in
half, so it makes things only worse.  Don't know about more modern
MSFCs, sorry.

But your customers might be interested in theirs.  To some extent, RIR
minimum allocation filters trade FIB resources for operator resources.
Desparate attempts at traffic engineering are certainly not restricted
to those who have no traffic to deal with. 8-/

Do you mean the filters based on RIR minimum allocations?  From time
to time, someone who should now better announces something smaller
without the covering aggregate, so this requires some maintenance.

According to the docs, if you run it in the router profile, the ACL
TCAM has 1,000 entries.  There should be a (hidden) command to dump
the TCAM contents, so you can check how your ACLs are compiled and
project TCAM utilization according to that.

And the VPN Concentrators had their own software line.  I learnt that
the hardware while scripting the Telnet interface: It tended to lock up
the device after a couple of session (even if those were properly

Uhm, no.  A deactivated configuration item is considered not to be
present in the configuration at all, which means you cannot reference
that interface anywhere else in the configuration (that would be an
error that prevents you from committing the change).  If you want to
shut down an interface (while keeping it in the configuration), you
need to disable it, and the equivalent of "no shutdown" in that sense
is "delete disable".

Talk about intuitive...

Not really.  Faking the RST with the address of the target doesn't
give you any hint what's rejected the connection attempt.  I know that
some people do not want to leak that data, but it's absence makes
debugging quite hard.

This is one precondition for creating a market for intelligence derived
