I had a feeling I might get scolded...hence my original subject line. :)

Again, ideally, I'd love it if we had a better connection between NOCS,
but since that's currently cost prohibitive, our options (I think) are
limited to either not using BGP (but we're currently multi-homed, with
four providers), or do this deaggregation bit.  Would it be safe to say
that, given those options, you'd go for the "no BGP" one?

Thanks,

Rick
