You may have discovered that already during your research, but just in
case: basically, using those optimizers at full throttle is a bad practice
and is generally discouraged.

A research into the deep-juju of BGP optimization is roughly equivalent to
a research about how alcohol may make you a faster driver.  I.e. it's fine
in academy but you certainly may want to emphasize security considerations
in your paper.
