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 ----- On Nov 6, 2019, at 10:39 AM, Compton, Rich A <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, I am working with MANRS ( [ https://www.manrs.org/ | > 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 | > 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.
