the difference is that, in a backup peers scenario, you don't have tcp
connections established with the backup peer until needed. it's a solution
only with VERY large networks with more than 1000 remote peers. (i have read
in a cisco press book that the 4500 will support a maximum of 1000 tcp
peering connections)
