my rule would be if your provider can manage an autonomous system better than you and multihoming isnt a requirement of your business then let them take on the management
I'm willing to bet there's a lot of single-homed customers of both Cogent and L3 that 2 weeks ago didn't think multihoming was a requirement of their business either, who now are contemplating it. Plus possibly some single-homed customers of other large providers as well. Anybody want to start a pool on how many new AS numbers will get issued as a result of this tiff, and what percent will commit a BGP whoopsie that impacts more than just themselves within the first 6 months? On the other hand, I see a business opportunity to sell new customers insurance against self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the feet here. Some providers might even consider selling a managed service at a slight loss, just for self-defense.. :)
