Ran some little dinky BGP program on a PC that accidently manipulated routing paths in the building (circa 1993). Suddenly hundreds of engineers and employees found their network connectivity hugely impaired, if not outright disabled. IT tore their hair out, looking for the cause for several hours, until I noticed the program was running. After I shut it down, network connectivity was magically restored. The IT guy (Tim) told me that he had been able to use wireshark to catch the routers in the act of mis-routing traffic, but couldn't figure out why. I kept my mouth shut. Two weeks later, I met Tim again, this time in the parking lot as he was carrying his stuff out of the building in a cardboard box after being fired. I'm sorry, Tim. |
