Having a fully meshed/redundant network should be the goal of any serious ISP. The only one that claims it with any substance IMO is UUNET. We are trying to build one and its not easy. Haveing redundant links in place does not guarantee instant fall over of traffic. Static routes, IGRP, iBGP, bridgeing, rip1 vs rip2, etc. are some of the issues we are running into. As well as when an interface is down, but actually looks up to the router, etc..it can be done, but there are so many possible points of failure and unforseen scenarios, it is very difficult to construct and certainly takes time to develop.
This is where having an excellent engineering staff pays off. :-) - paul - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
