Path: utzoo!utgpu!water!watmath!clyde!cbosgd!ucbvax!UDEL.EDU!Mills From: Mills@UDEL.EDU Newsgroups: comp.protocols.tcp-ip Subject: Not a good day for EGP Message-ID: <8801171317.aa23158@Huey.UDEL.EDU> Date: 17 Jan 88 18:17:39 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The ARPA Internet Lines: 128 Folks, I am used to seeing some amount of trash in the core gateway routing tables, but this morning it has gotten out of hand. At the end of this message is a summary of the world according to the PURDUE LSI-11 core gateway. The first part shows the neighbors which at one time were up, but are at the moment offline, crashed or worse. The second part shows a mess of 68 apparently bogus nets (!) presently sloshing over all Internet corespeakers at the moment. I constructed this list from the full PURDUE routing table by deleting all named networks and all unnamed networks in the range 128.x.x.x, 129.x.x.x and 192.x.x.x. Some of the remainder are marked unreachable, so are not included in PURDUE routing updates sent to its neighbors. The others are in fact now sloshing all over the Internet, overflowing routing tables and crashing at least three EGPspeakers known to me. From the hop counts and first-hop gateways listed, I suspect counting-to-infinity is in progress on the MILNET side of the mailbridges, so the bogons might eventually evaporate from the core tables. However, the three EGPspeakers I watch are now crashing at intervals of a few hours, so the bogon generator may be barking at those intervals or less. I strongly suspect a malformed EGP update is being sent to a core gateway, which results not only in broken tables, but a malformed EGP update being sent back to the remaining EGP population. While my crashed EGPspeakers may deserve additional anti-bogon insulation, the bogonspeakers should be found and fried ASAP. Could it be that some list of gateways within an EGP update has overflowed a count field or broken a parser?
