If I am paying for those routes then I have a contractual right. If you don't want my redundant feed, and the route advertisements that go with it, then don't take my money. No one is advocating multi-homing without payment.

Please detail the exact costs of a, BGP inserted, routing table entry. Is it, maybe, 50 cents? Now, how much are you getting for a DS1 link? What does that cost, exactly, considering that an outfit capable of setting up multi-homing are probably the folks that your techs never hear from, but once a year? That appears to be a margin that is far above keystone. How greedy do you want to be? |> All others can |> pay me to do it if they want me to. Your rights end at my network. BTW, randy's position is rather strange, coming from someone that used to support the FidoNet community, by being the FTSC chair.
