The ASN number of the two providers 2. The ASN to be used for the local side 3. The IP Address to use on the local end of each connection 4. The IP Address to peer with on each connection 5. The prefix(es) to be advertised.Add to that: 6. Primary A, Primary B, Balanced (routing priority via AS path prepends) 7. Optional password for each session (some ISPs require one) Or take another tack: have the SOHO router accept a URL for each BGP connection and have the provider build the config. Then all you enter is your provider-assigned interface address, a DNS server address and a URL. Your point is well taken. A leaf node BGP configuration could be simplified to the point where it fits on a SOHO router config page and does not require an expert to configure.
This is all being approached from the wrong angle; there's too much technical talk. "BGP to the Home" needs to be sales/marketing driven. (You're allowed to use buzzwords with no actual meaning though.) ~Seth
