Any info on devices that are running eBGP on the Internet?

Thu Nov 7 19:58:16 UTC 2019

I just grabbed the following from our routers connected to LINX LON1, LINX LON2, LINX Manchester and LONAP (so this data is very UK centric):

 557 Cisco Systems, Inc
 553 Juniper Networks
  51 Routerboard.com
  51 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.
  49 Arista Networks
  40 Unknown
  38 Intel Corporate
  36 HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO.,LTD
  31 Globalscale Technologies, Inc.
  20 Super Micro Computer, Inc.
  20 Alcatel-Lucent IPD
  15 Nokia
  14 Hewlett Packard
  10 VMware, Inc.
  10 Ubiquiti Networks Inc.
  10 Sunrich Technology Limited
  10 Extreme Networks, Inc.
   7 Dell Inc.
   5 IEEE Registration Authority
   4 Intel Corporation
   4 HotLava Systems, Inc.
   3 FireBrick Limited
   2 Raspberry Pi Foundation
   2 Nexcom International Co., Ltd.
   2 Microsoft Corporation
   2 Mellanox Technologies, Inc.
   2 ICP Electronics Inc.
   2 Hewlett Packard Enterprise
   2 BSkyB Ltd
   1 Xensource, Inc.
   1 XEROX CORPORATION
   1 Solarflare Communications Inc.
   1 SILICOM, LTD.
   1 MIX s.r.l.
   1 LANNER ELECTRONICS, INC.
   1 GIGA-BYTE TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD.
   1 DriveCam Inc
   1 DIGITAL EQUIPMENT CORPORATION
   1 Agile Systems Inc.

That's done using https://github.com/bauerj/mac_vendor_lookup to do the MAC lookup against the IEEE OUI list with the "Unknown" entries being anything which doesn't appear in http://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui.txt (possibly locally administered addresses?).

Hope that's helpful to someone 🙂

Hi,

What you could consider is asking a few of the major internet exchanges if they'd be so kind to send you a list of MAC addresses seen on their LANs. Based on the MAC you can determine the manufacturer. If you have three or four big ones, you have a decent sample size as most larger networks are on multiple IXes anyway.

If you do compile a list, I'm sure this list would be interested in the results :)

Thanks,

Sabri

Hi, I am working with MANRS (https://www.manrs.org) on a tool for checking router configs for BGP security / spoofing prevention (e.g. uRPF) https://github.com/manrs-tools/MANRS-validator

We are wondering if there is any research on the percentages of different types of devices running BGP on the Internet.

Something like:

Cisco IOS 30%

Junos 30%

Mikrotik 20%

etc…

We are looking to focus our tool on the most prevalent types of devices doing BGP (and the most prevalent with BGP security/spoofing issues) so that we can have the greatest impact.  Does anyone have any information on this or know where I can obtain this information?  Thanks in advance!
