> The vendor claimed this could only happen one a million times, so they didn't consider it a bug. Guess how often one in a million times happens when you're routing a hundred million packets a second?

This reminds of people on HN who claim BGP is outdated and should be replaced.

They have no idea how mind boggling large and complex the global internet routing is. I would even argue that BGP in the default free zone (aka, the public internet) is the largest distributed system in the world.

as someone who works in a datacenter/cloud enviroment. Having optimal resource distribution is simply impossible to get 100% correct. Their is always some waste or over/underallocation. The same goes for large scale networks aswell.
