Why would thousands be needed? We already *know* that the bad guys are *well* acquainted with using P2P networks for controlling zombies. There's no reason a few strategic queries won't provide a good first approximation, which can then be distributed. Remember - it doesn't have to be perfect to cause a problem. ;) And no, there's no reason they can;t create poison OSPF or STP packets.
