Benefits of BGP holding the routing tables [7:70788]
Could anyone explain the benefit of using BGP and holding the routing tables on your router versus having the ISP hold the tables and you just receive a default-route? Thanks.

Unless you have multiple egress points from your network to the Internet (IOW Load Balancing) there is really not a compelling reason to recieve full BGP routes, just have your ISP send you defaults via BGP, or even simpler set your default to your ISP facing interface.

If you are single homed there is no benefit running BGP but if your dual homed, BGP can allow you to utilize the best path along with the ability to dynamically announce your networks, influence incoming traffic and all kinds of fun stuff.
