Yes, generally, within reason. 2 or 3 aren't a problem, but 10 might be. > 2) Is there any technical reason that the above is bad? Bridging makes things harder to see, and always runs the risk that dodos will bridge strange stuff into the MAE fabric. > 3) Because we do it the way shown above, does that make us look less > attractive (politically) ? If it does, it's too late - you already told everyone about it :) But the answer is: The people who'd want to peer with you probably don't care. And you probably can pick up 5-10% of your traffic bidirectionally via those people at the MAE. > Thanks for any input on this. If there is anything I am missing, please > slap me. Thanks. Avi
