    I'd try injecting a bogus route to some reserved address (netblock).
    Perhaps the infamous "link local" 169.254.0.0/16? People using reserved
    addresses who might be harmed by such a test deserve to lose anyway.
    The bad news is that routers might ignore routes to reserved/invalid
    address even if they accept routes to ordinary addresses.
