I can understand wanting to diagram a complex design, so everyone involved
has a clear picture of what needs to happen, but for an ISP to bring up
BGP to a customer? If that's not something that can be done in a
relatively cookie-cutter fashion, there is something horribly broken with
that ISP.
My diagram would be something along the lines of
your_router --------[GIG-E WITH BGP]-------- my_router = :)
your_router --------[GIG-E WITH NO BGP]-------- my_router = :(
