I tried partial... after changing which upstream provider was
my 'default route' a few times I quickly realized this was
stupid. Ram and CPU is cheap enough to make full routes,
even on a Cisco, a VERY desirable thing.


Upgrading a 2650 to 128MB for USD 5,700 is not just cheap. The box itself is
around USD 3,300 ...
