Thanks - I believe the wording meant was "alternative path" versus connection... in other words if an AS has issues with one or more upstream providers for whatever reason, you have good chances the peering connection will remain in better shape (not always granted, but good odds)....

It would only be a redundant connection if the AS your peering with is a transit AS. The AS that I work with is a stub AS and can not function as a fully redundant link. Just something to watch out for. Paul Stewart wrote: > Thanks!
