Hi,

Both would be vastly superiour to what we have now - "no lively detection".

As for "just ask your vendor about it" - yeah, been doing that, since
years, for stuff that should have been obvious.  But the standard reply
is "nobody else is asking for it" and "how many new boxes are you going
to buy?" - and since we're small, the latter argument is not convincing.

Having an IETF recommendation how to make indirect peerings more robust
by doing x, y or z and tieing that into BGP NH feasibility decision 
would defuse the "nobody else is asking for it" argument thoroughly :)
