[AusNOG] Interesting - How a Router's Missed Range Check Nearly Crashed the Internet

[Andrew Cox]

I use Mikrotik software on a number of our routers. The router licence 
levels are reasonably priced (IMHO) and the system is (normally ahaha) 
fully cisco compatible.
I find it amusing thou that a single bug in their software triggered an 
OLD bug in the cisco system which could've been prevented.

To their credit, Mikrotik has already fixed this bug in the newest 
version of the software (3.20)

I shall continue to use them as I have been quite happy with the core 
routing functionality they provide (and I can build an MPLS-capable edge 
router for far less than the cost of the Foundry NetIron M2404's) :-D
