This is less than clear, and largely dependent on a specific
organization's [in]ability to function if their internets go down.
End-site multihoming in some form or fashion is a growing requirement,
and folk thinking otherwise need to get their heads out of sand.
If anything, these recent de-peerings underscore the lack of wisdom in
