Question.

Why would a company want BGP?

In what scenarios would it be good working policy to actually sell them BGP ins
tead of advertising their netblock through redistribution means and giving them
 a default route.
I have struggled with this question for a while and I can't really come up with
 any hard evidence to the benefits of BGP for a customer.

I mean what does BGP give a customer?

Any thoughts welcome
