forget the talk of juniper t320s in the core.. you are talking about the problem caused by multihoming and multihoming prefixes are not originated typically by such large and expensive routers but by small cheap systems at the edge.
Yes, but how well does that multihoming work if the Junipers in the core can't/ won't carry your announcement? Currently, multihoming only works because it's cost-shifting - the pain of carrying the announcement is felt by the carriers, not the originators.
sorry, my point was perhaps unclear.. it was suggested that the increasing requirements to operate routers would be a natural prevention to multihoming.. i am saying that it is not the multihomers at the edge feeling that pain it is those already in the core Steve
