Good point, one of our customers multihomed to two different providers and had several instances where a BGP configuration change by one of their providers made their networks invisible to half of that provider's peers. These types of errors take quite a while to track down and are generally only found when the help desk gets calls that some people from around the world can't get to internal network resources (Looking glass sites are invaluable in these situations). Risk mitigation from these types of errors is easy justification for multi-homing.

Yes, and IF you live somewhere with limited physical capacity, multi-homing takes on a much different value. I buy lots of RAM and deal with it to insure what is most important. Only the experienced walk with a limp. /Dee
