There's a number of enterprise end user type customers of 3356 that have on-premises server rooms/hosting for their stuff. And they spend a lot of money every month for a 'redundant' metro ethernet circuit that takes diverse fiber paths from their business park office building to the local clink/level3 POP. But all that last mile redundancy and fail over ability doesn't do much for them when 3356 breaks its network at the BGP level.
Well, many of us are paying for redundant power supplies or redundant REs, even if that doesn't make any difference when the chassis is on fire. I guess most people know that, and still buy those redundant components. It's always about cost versus risk. I certainly hope nobody here believe single homed is completely failsafe. (the lack of withdrawal making multi homed customers fail too is more unexpected, and a new factor to consider in the future) Bjørn
