The way they answered the question showed that they had already considered this particular failure case and engineered their implementation accordingly. That is good enough for us. Incorrect origination of a default route is, after all, just one of the essentially infinite ways our transit providers can screw up our services. Therefore it would make no sense to me to entrust the delivery of our business critical packets to a transit provider, yet at the same time not trust them to originate a default route reliably. If we did not feel I could trust my transit provider, we would simply find another one. There are plenty to choose from. Tore
