The long (176) AS20912 prepend incident was due to a
misconfiguration of a BGP router we were testing.
The problem is that differently to Cisco the syntax of the
prepend field on thius system is not a string (eg. "20912 20912
20912") but an integer, that the user interface _should_ limit to the
interval 0-16.
Unfortunately something has gone wrong with the syntax checker
so you can enter a number (the number entered, thinking to Cisco
syntax, was 20912) and the sotware interpreted it as the request of
20912 prepends... (0x51B0), dropped the highest 8 bits and processed
it as the request of 0xB0=176 prepends.
The producer has been warned about the problem, which I can't
completely define as a "bug"... but the lack of a user configuration
helper (syntax checker).
I think that the case of AS47868 is the same, because I seed
the modulo was involved too.
Many thanks to one of our upstream providers for their support.
