We have full tables from 2 ISPs at just one datacenter, and it is nice in the case of partial reachability issues—If one ISP loses access to routes to a destination but the other one doesn’t, for example. For us, the decision to do full tables was easy, as we are running 2 MX150s which can very

Honestly, this. Your only real choice is what of 2 pipes to chuck it out of. Full tables vs partial and a default don’t make the process much more intelligent for 1 site dual homed, and as mentioned routing policy will have more influence. -Ben > On Jan 24, 2020, at 8:47 AM, Mel Beckman

It’s pretty pointless for a small ISP to get full routes, because the BGP tables are so highly manipulated. It’s better to just get “company” routes for each upstream, and then use your own traffic engineering via prepending and static or policy routes to balance the outbound traffic the way

You can just accept directly-connected peers from each network (or within 2 AS's, etc) then point a default at each one with different preferences. You can do with with two edges if you like also: iBGP between the edges, and push default into OSPF from both. WRT dynamic load balancing...

You really limit yourself when you just take a default from a provider. If you take 2 default's (one from each provider) for whatever reason, once you change the local pref on one of them, it's all your traffic outbound or none. I always request a full table + default, so you can filter to best
