So is the question: you are selling transit to your customers and you
are wondering if you should charge your customer for allowing them to
use your HSRP gateway instead of a physical interface on your router?

Personally, if I saw a provider charging for that service, I would shy
away from them. Only because it tells me they are piece-mealing their
services and are cheap. I would think a good provider would include
that (and/or not sell it WITHOUT HSRP) in their sales offering. If for
the only reason of customer support nightmares. If you have your
customers on HSRP and you have a router go down, you wont have them
calling you every five minutes bitching at you...

My cohorts in suits have begun wondering if HSRP is standard for customer
gateways, and from there wondering if it is something we should charge for.
I did some research and came up with mixed results; I'd like to hear
nanogers experiences with this:

In your experience, do datacenters provide free HSRP gateways, or do they
make you pay for it?


Real world examples are better than Google :)
Thanks,
