Hi,
After recent discussions on the list, I've been thinking about the affects of multiple BGP feeds to the overall resilience of Internet connectivity for my organisation. So originally when I looked at the design proposals, there was a provision in there for four connections with the same Internet provider. Thinking about it and with the valuable input of members on this list, it was obvious that multiple connections from the same provider defeated the aim of providing resilience. So having come to the decision to use two providers and BGP peer with both, I'm wondering how much more resilience I would get by peering with more than two providers. So will it significantly increase my resilience by peering with three providers for example, as both of the upstreams I choose will be multihomed to other providers. Especially as I am only looking at peering out of the UK. Hope the above makes sense. Adel
