    You are not a network guy or you would accept just because someone occasionally fat fingers a table entry on BGP it doesn’t brink a hard link down to the less reliable wireless links.

    If it wasn’t for me trying to keep my anonymity on the platform, I would love to give credentials for this. You refuse to see anything other than the densest approach with zero regard in proper networking theory, algorithmics, and beyond. YOU are not a networking guy, you are a cable install guy. You refuse to give any evidence other than ad-hoc experience, refusing to elaborate other than repeat the same thing over and over again, now claiming my “amateur understanding” as your defense. As soon as I mentioned BGP issues, your mind defaulted to “a guy making typos”, not the difficulty of algorithmic verification for BGP or the implementation differences between different vendors hardware, or the different use of metrics between different ISPs. YOU are the amateur here, exhibited by your refusal to address any of my points heads on, and misconstruing my point of practical networking errors makes it similarly impossible of hitting certain SLAs on residential networks, regardless of wireless or not. The fact that it’s wireless or not does not matter, you are NOT hitting 4 nines availability, you do NOT NEED 4 nines availability. And you are the one making strawman arguments claiming I don’t know wireless going through BGP.

    Everything you said just re-enforces the problems of industry - move fast, break things, fix them never. No need to understand anything because “everything current just works and anything else is the spawn of Satan”. It’s people like you that IP is dead, nothing but TCP and UDP can make it across the Internet.
