In a virtual test environment, Michael is testing the strength and security of BGP using multiple
routers to mimic the backbone of the Internet. This project will help him write his doctoral thesis on
“bringing down the Internet”. Without sniffing the traffic between the routers, Michael sends
millions of RESET packets to the routers in an attempt to shut one or all of them down. After a few
hours, one of the routers finally shuts itself down. What will the other routers communicate
between themselves?
A.
More RESET packets to the affected router to get it to power back up
B.
RESTART packets to the affected router to get it to power back up
C.
The change in the routing fabric to bypass the affected router
D.
STOP packets to all other routers warning of where the attack originated
