Think in the future, do we really want routers that'll handle millions of prefixes and hundreds of thousands of AS numbers, just because people want resiliance?
Something will have to provide it and I don't want it to be each of my hosts. I'd rather the hundreds of hosts handle payload and a few proper network devices handle where to move it
If this can be solved on the end-user layer instead, it's more scalable.
Sadly most end users will have no idea and cause more trouble that it's worth if hosts do it brandon
