A nice academic paper looking at the causes of BGP errors.  They found
configuration errors are pervasive, with 200-1200 prefixes experienceing
problems due to misconfigurations every day.  But they also found the Net
is relatively robust, with only one in twenty-five misconfigurations
affect connectivity.
