[ietf79-tech] default route?

[Jim Martin]

Leon,
	Is the idea that we truly want to run a primary/backup rather than best path approach? Is this because one path avoids the firewall and the other does not? If so, we need to make sure the attendees know that if the primary link fails, our path is subject to filtering.
