Target

Repo: https://github.com/FRRouting/frr Language: C Why: BGP route storm amplification — internet routing events trigger AS-path loop detection over linear lists, and at scale this degrades convergence under load.

Key files to check

bgpd/bgp_aspath.c — AS-path loop detection; aspath_loop_check iterates path segments linearly
bgpd/bgp_route.c — Route selection and best-path computation; per-prefix adjacency list scans
bgpd/bgp_damp.c — Route dampening; reachability history list traversal

Expected pattern

aspath_loop_check or equivalent iterating over an array/list of AS numbers to detect whether the local AS appears in the path, using a linear scan (O(path-length)) called per received UPDATE — under a route storm this is O(updates × path-length) with no hash-set acceleration.

Acceptance criteria

Scan run and results saved to tools/scan-results/frrouting-bgpd.txt
All CANDIDATE hits triaged (confirmed defect or false positive)
If confirmed: defect ticket created in tools/tickets/defects/
