Will they really demand ubiquitous, unabridged connectivity?
Let's back up. End users do not as a rule* have persistent inbound connections. If they have DSL and a Cable Modem they can switch manually (or with a little effort automatically) if one goes down. * Servers-at-home-or-small-office is the use case for Owen's magic BGP box. Which is true for many of us and other core geeks but not an appreciable percent of the populace. I believe that full BGP to end user is less practical for this use case than a geographically dispersed BGP external facing intermediary whose connectivity to the "end user servers" is full-mesh multi-provider-multi-physical-link VPNs. It's a lot easier to manage and has less chance of a config goof blowing up bigger network neighbors. Every time I look at productizing this, though, the market's too small to support it. Which probably means it's way too small for home BGP... George William Herbert Sent from my iPhone
