RE: Industry practice for BGP costs - one time or fixed/monthly?

[John van Oppen <jvanoppen () spectrumnet us>]

I know we dislike BGP on small connections (even though we do it), it is an extra administrative hassle that tends to 
be the most work on the smallest connections.    Customers with multiple 10Gs tend to have small numbers of BGP related 
tickets than customers with a single fastE, given that, I can understand why soneone would want to charge, especially 
when it breaks the cookie-cutter templates that they are using for their low margin servers.    While something might 
be technically easy, don't forget that breaking automated proccesses does tend to cause administrative pain, that could 
be what the fees are for recouping.
