From: Nick Hilliard <nick () foobar org> multihop bgp means that you don't have synchronised ethernet carrier status between the provider and customer routers. This in turn means that if there's an intermediate connectivity problem, bgp will need to time out before it notices and reroutes. During this period, traffic will be black-holed. This is a crock.
It is but nobody worries about that, we trust route servers at IX carrying way more traffic than most of these access circuits. brandon
