Well, not necessarily. Tier-2s should be given much more credit than they typically are in write-ups like this. When a customer is single homed to a tier-2 that has multiple tier-1 upstreams, and uses a delegated netblock from the tier-2's aggregations, that means one less ASN and one or more less routes in the global table. It's a Good Thing(tm). -- -- Todd Vierling <[email protected]> <[email protected]> <[email protected]>
