Re: all the mails on Filtering

Hi,

  So what happens to multihoming assignments made by the ISP? That means
the multihoming assignment can't be used as a backup. If the customer's
connection to the ISP which made the multihoming assignment gets lost,
then it can't use its multihoming assignments (say a /24) to get traffic
from some other ISP?!

Thanks to all,
Harsha.
