As you so 'badly' want one, write something up and describe exactly what you want, now you are just running up to the walls.
Maybe my english didn't make that clear: I have seen this proposal, and I've just been told it hadn't been submitted yet.
BGP is only 'limited' in the number of updates that can be handled. The likelyhood that more entries cause more updates will rise, next to that, we only have max ~60k ASN's anyway at this moment, thus even if every ASN would announce 1 IPv6 prefix it would stop at max ~60k entries...
The Sup720++ CAM tables are limited to 256K v4 entries, unless I've gotten that wrong and the boards also limit BGP paths (which I don't believe.
... as long as your transit providers know each other, agree not to filter, and you're happy with the fallback connectivity through the block owner. We're in a lucky position, not everybody is.
You can also ask the other transit upstream to announce your /48 for you.
Mind you, I prefer to advertise myself, and, as discussed, am in the lucky position that my transit ISPs are reasonable.
Nevertheless, for real end-sites, like my house, most websites and other 'endsites', if you want to multihome, have some patience shim6 to be done or as Gert said, make a really neat proposal.
See above. I consider this "house" an end site that unfortunately needs real multihoming nonetheless. But I can live with a /48 PA multihoming solution. It works well. I do need a solution for the anycast thing and shim6 will not do it.
Multihoming on IP is silly in most cases anyway, because most of the time the cable-path is the same, thus one single silly fiber cut would take you out anyhow...
We have taken great care that exactly this is untrue.
and if you can pay for multiple differentiated uplinks you are most likely also big enough to claim you (will) have 200 endsites.
End sites are no ISPs. Try as I might, I will not have different companies as my customers. There seem to be different kinds of end-sites, maybe we are one type and you're the other. ;-) Elmar. -- "Begehe nur nicht den Fehler, Meinung durch Sachverstand zu substituieren."
