Rare that people do haircuts on router configs; they're tedious and can not be delegated to an intern or someone else who doesn't have historical context. I just cut a config by half by removing unused ACLs, and even that is fairly painful. > What other such temporary mitigating > measures are still in place long after the danger has passed. (?) It's been almost nine and a half years and was a short-lived problem, but I'll betcha that an announcement from AS 7007 will have reachability problems to a measurable fraction of the Internet. That would make a kind of cool experiment. Vinny, you listening? ---Rob
