As for "multihoming" in the sense that one wants redundancy, getting two uplinks to the same ISP, or what I have done a couple of times already, multiple tunnels between 2 sites (eg 2 local + 2 remote) and running BGP/OSPF/RIP/VRRP/whatever using (private) ASN's and just providing a default to the upstream network and them announcing their /48 works perfectly fine. The multihoming that people here seem to want though is the Provider Independent one, and that sort of automatically implies some routing method: read BGP. Greets, Jeroen Attachment:
