It also complicates every peering relationship and multi-homed customer connection, as you have to worry about both multiple external AS's and your internal routing redistribution from all of these regional routing clouds. If you presume a fairly dense set of interconnects among transit providers, then you're not going to get a significant improvement in latency despite the added complexity. /John - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
