Hi Eliot,I agree with you. If ETR/ITR function will not be automatic and transparent to end sites running on a very lowest end boxes I think any of the solutions discussed here will completely fail deployment wise.
That really depends on whether you expect the ETRs to be deployed by
ISPs on behalf of SMB customers, or whether you expect the SMB customers
to buy them at the supermarket. Since it's the ISPs that will suffer
directly from BGP4 collapse, I think the economic incentive will
apply to the ISPs.

I think this depends on the complexity of running one. If it adds no operational complexity, why not have them in a Linksys box? Eliot
