Hrm, people keep saying that BGP is hard and takes time.
As well as my end-user-facing network responsibilities, I also have corporate network responsibilities here. All of our corporate hub locations are multi-homed (or soon will be)... and I honestly can't remember the last time I made any changes
It's not changes that make BGP maintenance consume time; rather, it's tracking down connectivity issues when problems do arise. If the upstream is responsible for multihoming instead, they also are responsible for keeping the knowledge resources to do that problem-hunt. It's another side effect of the choice to outsource the multihoming responsibility, and is one of the factors to consider when choosing a redundancy approach. -- -- Todd Vierling <tv@duh.org> <tv@pobox.com> <todd@vierling.name>
