In the IPIP tunnels, on both ends, you have a single point of failure since
you cannot multihome (as discussed 25 MAR "Can't add redundant AMPR gateway
to portal").
I know that the network I'm building as well as a few other BGP announced
networks are multihomed -- no single point of failure to the internet. In
fact, we have planned for one of the BGP announcements and peering to take
place at one of our RF point of presences.
Another advantage is latency... having traffic travel from Memphis to San
Diego and back just to get from my cellphone to a 44net-connected server in
the same room is disappointing.
