Did you do this on routers that already had fully converged tables, or,
did you bootstrap the table load into the routers at the same time
as would be the case in a power failure, post-crash reboot, software
upgrade, etc.?
If only the former, may I suggest that at least doing some level of the
latter might prove a useful exercise?
I apologize for this mildly operational question. Y'all can go back to
Randy's fud-laiden black helicopters now.
