Back when I was on that side of the house, if you bought transit from 7018 and were managing your own routers, you got your choice of BGP or static, and BGP could have full routes, our-customer routes, default routes, and maybe some other variants. No charge for any of those options, but if you wanted full routes you'd need a hefty enough router, and if you thought you wanted full routes on your T1 line we'd offer you some hints about that not being a good idea. Other than that, full routes burned a bit of extra bandwidth, so if you had usage-based pricing that might have some minor effects. (If we were managing your routers, you usually weren't in the dual-homing business, or at least we'd be charging you more for a fatter router and managing the extra complexity of whatever you needed done locally, but all of that was just router management pricing, not network pricing.) -- ---- Thanks; Bill Note that this isn't my regular email account - It's still experimental so far. And Google probably logs and indexes everything you send it.
