I don't think anyone uses S-BGB or soBGP in the wild--except on Internet2 (=
debatable whether I2 is in the wild). Mostly just labs and classrooms...?
We get zmap/nmap/xmap scans on our BGP speakers constantly. However, most =
people do a tight lockdown on anything internet-exposed, limiting useful in=
formation for most speakers to whatever their prime function is (routing, g=
athering, reflecting, etc.)

Subject: [EXTERNAL]BGP Security Research Question
I'm a student in college learning about networking and, specifically, BGP.
Does anyone have any statistics on the use of S-BGP or soBGP in the wild?
I've read a few papers / RFCs on the subject (from Cisco and the like), but=
I haven't been able to find any information about actual usage.
Additionally, do people scan BGP speakers in the same sense that researcher=
s perform scans of the Internet (e.g. zmap)?
