Won't it only get marked as flapping if it's going up and down every couple of minutes? You obviously wouldn't want to peer with any links like a dialup or isdn, good luck getting a bgp session over a dialup or isdn anyway. :) It might be worthwhile to build a backbone network using BGP, and something else for links branching off of that. I really want to experiment with wireless though, either 802.11 or laser if I can find some.
