通过进行一系列修改以修正一个编程错误,Cisco Systems公司试图解决其即将推出的路由软件中一个潜在问题。存在于该公司IOS中的一个错误代码可能会使该公司几乎所有的路由器瘫痪——而这些路由器负责传输着网上绝大部分的通信量,这是因为该有问题的软件在实际应用中将作为Cisco公司联网硬件的“大脑”。该公司的Web站点(www.cisco.com)已经提供了修正这个错误的补丁程序。据IOS市场营销副总裁Peter Long说,所有运行“古典”Cisco IOS的Cisco路由设备都是脆弱的。用户为访问一台路由器而在提示符下输入的某些命令将会导致设备的死
By making a series of modifications to correct a programming error, Cisco Systems tried to solve a potential problem with its upcoming routing software. An error code that exists in the company’s IOS may cause almost all of the company’s routers to behave - and these routers are responsible for transmitting most of the network’s traffic, because the problematic software will be used in practical applications.
