Hi list,
I've got two OpenBSD (5.1-STABLE, amd64) machines running OpenBGPd.
Both of them are connected to two upstream providers each, furthermore
there are (older) Ciscos, also connecteed to the same (!) upstream
routers.
Recently, both OpenBSD machines lost their BGP session to one of the
upstream providers. On both machines the same upstream router was
affected.
Logs show this:

The Ciscos didn't see anything like this, their sessions didn't drop.
Any clue what was going on?
Thanks,
Bernd
