Ahh, don't we all get those wonderfully exorbitant design requirements
with multiple tiers of redundancy and so very often a budget to barely
implement the base network with no redundancy? Management always expect
the network and design guys to come up with some "hoodoo" design for a
kickass network that will never fail. I'm in a similar situation right
now. I see all the fanciful notions of 5 nines reliability slowly
getting thrown out one by one because of budget constraints.
