Hi All,
I was wondering if configuring a backup peer is the same as configuring two
peers with different costs such that the lower cost peer is preferred and if
the lower cost peer goes away, then the higher cost peer will be used...

So, let us say RA has a DLSw peer relation with RB
and RC is configured as a backup-peer on RA (to backup RB)

v/s

RA has two remote-peer statements for RB and RC and RB is configured with
lower cost...
and RC is configured with a higher cost

Why would u prefer one method over the other?

Thanks for your inputs
Sanjay
