the basic issue is that multi-homing is *the demand*. And it's not the ISP who has to evaluate whether it's the right one but the *customer*. We live in a customer - driven world. Money makes the world go round, not techies.
not a problem. they can demand all they want. but i will listen to their flakey routes when they *pay* me to do so.
No flame intended here, but aren't your customers already paying you to get the best connectivity to remote sites? If a more specific route is shorter or has more bandwith available shouldn't you route the traffic that way in the interest of your customers? Of course I see the point in filling up 128megs of ram with routing tables but I ask myself what costs more; 128megs of extra ram or customers running off to another ISP because that has better connectivity to their favorite site? -- Sabri Berisha ~~ my own opinions etc ~
