[c-nsp] Detect Upstream ISP's BGP problems.

[tkacprzynski at SpencerStuart.com]

That sounds like a good idea. Thank you very much. 

What do you think of using conditional advertisement based on their
Route Reflector to advertise a default route? (I think the biggest
problem is that most ISPs might not want to do that correct?)

Thank you again.

Don't get default, get PA aggregate. And point static route to that PA
aggregate and the interface. If ISPs peering router is separated from
ISPs core, the PA aggregate disappears and static default will be
invalid, allowing you to converge to another path.

For more advanced stuff, you might want to look at 'PfR'
from cisco.
