In theory, it's not needed.  If an IP network works the way it's
supposed to then it's unnecessary.  In fact, it makes things worse: it
keeps demand-dial links active when they need not be, and causes idle
connections to abort during intermittent network problems when they
need not.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
