forget the talk of juniper t320s in the core.. you are talking about the
problem caused by multihoming and multihoming prefixes are not originated
typically by such large and expensive routers but by small cheap systems at
the edge.

Yes, but how well does that multihoming work if the Junipers in the core
can't/ won't carry your announcement? Currently, multihoming only works
because it's cost-shifting - the pain of carrying the announcement is felt by
the carriers, not the originators.

sorry, my point was perhaps unclear.. it was suggested that the increasing
requirements to operate routers would be a natural prevention to multihoming.. i
am saying that it is not the multihomers at the edge feeling that pain it is
those already in the core
