Yes. Put bluntly, technology is not serving its users. It's the oil-burning '73 Nova that won't die: far from ideal, but it still runs, so we may as well use it instead of buying a new car...
I would really love to hear if anyone invented a way to do global routing with anything better than combination of flooding of aggregated reacheability information and defaut routes. It is not technology per se, it's the underlying concept which is barely adequate. --vadim PS I too have a pair of diverse DSLs and use combination of DNS (for ingress) and hash-based load sharing (for egress) packet routing. The resulting paths are sometimes hugely far from optimal.
