As much as possible, I'll always choose to have the most basic
infrastructure available under abnormal conditions, regardless of the
service.

ME3600X's and ASR920's, for example, will install 0/0 and ::/0 in FIB
last. If your access to the core depends entirely on BGP in such
scenarios, you will be unable to access it for as much as 10 minutes.

Mark.
