There is no question that more people are needing more reliable connections to the net. With some education, tools, and the right pricing models, people can be encouraged to get backup connectivity in a manner that doesn't impact the size of the routing table. Specifically, they should not announce any routes on their backup connection unless their primary is down. ISPs should provide good prices on backups connections (ie, connections that almost never get any traffic). Contrast this to some ISPs which say you pay for your connection whether you use it or not. This causes the customer to want to load balance (and announce all routes all the time). > This is a trend (multi-homing) which will not only continue, but will definitely accelerate. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
