Re: Dual Homed BGP

It’s pretty pointless for a small ISP to get full routes, because the BGP tables are so highly manipulated. It’s better 
to just get “company” routes for each upstream, and then use your own traffic engineering via prepending and static or 
policy routes to balance the outbound traffic the way you like.
