It's not changes that make BGP maintenance consume time; rather, it's tracking down connectivity issues when problems do arise. If the upstream is responsible for multihoming instead, they also are responsible for keeping the knowledge resources to do that problem-hunt. It's another side effect of the choice to outsource the multihoming responsibility, and is one of the factors to consider when choosing a redundancy approach. -- -- Todd Vierling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
