One of my open thoughts, is if I have PA space, can I get somehow get routing service (multi-homing) from more than the single ISP that provided the addressing?
Yes. I spoke with one big ISP at the ARIN meeting that very clearly said "yes, people can and do multihome with PA space today". It turns out that not not everyone wants/needs PI space even though they multihome.
That varies a lot. Are you sure all users of "PA-multihoming" really understand the consequences/limitations? In Europe most ISP's won't touch PA-space from other providers. In the US most will require some confirmation that they're allowed to originate the prefix, a confirmation it may take weeks or months to produce, blocking the quick changes one assume possible with PI-space. //per -- Per Heldal http://heldal.eml.cc/
