Charles: Not trying to seize the last word here, but did want to make one final point. Just because I let each of my upstreams route for me does NOT mean I am single-homed; only that I handle multi-homing differently. There are commercial appliances available that do this, though I happen to have rolled my own so as to save money and obtain greater control. And, that being said, I'm happy to let the thread die because it's sort of an odd tangent. I see no reason why there should be any sort of "class distinction" between ISPs who undertake the messy business of doing BGP (I have the technical knowledge to do it, but no desire to add more to my plate) and those who choose to outsource that task and focus their efforts on the challenges of serving remote downstream customers. --Brett Glass At 10:30 PM 7/14/2014, Charles Gucker wrote:

Last comment on the thread. And the truth will set you free! Please have your upstream provider peer with Netflix and all will be right in the world. As a single-homed customer of said ISP, you are subject to their rules. No need for your involvement in this old routing protocol and numbers business, let them do it as it's their business, not yours. I will not respond further and we can let this thread finally die.
