In a production environment would it not make more sense to tie the local
peer to a single physical interface if there is only one interface
participating in DLSW?

If it is tied to the physical interface, when it goes down then so does the
DLSW connection.

If it is tied to a loopback and the physical interface is down, DLSW traffic
will travel to the remote end only to be dropped.

It seems to me tying it to the physical interface would conserve bandwidth
during interface failures.

I always use the loopback, it's definately more stable than the
alternatives. Geir Jensen

        OK, you have a router which has more than one LAN interface it needs
DLSW
        traffic forwarded from, let's say e0 and t0. It also has a loopback
int with
        ip ad 172.16.10.1/24. The ip's of the e0 and t0 interfaces are
172.16.20.1/24
        and 172.16.30.1/24 respectively. What ip address is the best
practice to use
        for your dlsw local-peer peer-id statement?
        
        Cheers
