After a many month wait, we were ready to turn up our BGP peering sessions =
on a new Comcast fiber connection.
With our other providers (Level 3 and Verizon) we have edge routers that di=
rectly connect between the provider's on premise connection and our primary=
and a backup core routers. Each core router has a multihop BGP session wi=
th the provider's BGP router. The goal is to keep the single BGP router fr=
om being a single point of failure.
Comcast said they could not support two separate BGP peering sessions on th=
e same circuit. Does anyone have any counter examples? We used to have th=
is setup with Comcast 5+ years ago, but now they say they can't support it.
