My goal is to use multiple uplinks, but not only for redundancy. Most of the time, all (in my case 2) uplinks are available and then the question is how to make use of both of them. As soon as you leave the AS+PI+BGP area in this case you start getting into a deep, dark, complex well of magic and witchcraft.
As if AS+PI+BGP is *not* dark & full of witchcraft :-)
(Figuring out why and where your packets are coming *back* to you - or not! - and getting balancing across multiple upstreams about the way you want/need that balanced... - outgoing is the trivial part)
Also, AS+PI+BGP just does not scale to millions of endusers or "barbershop scale" small enterprises.
While I agree with you Gert, maybe it *should*. The whole point of IPv6 is end-to-end connectivity and re-enabling users. Imho something like multi link applications *should* be something trivial to solve in the IPv6 world. Whether that's PI/PA+LIR space or multiple addresses per node, that's debatable, but generally speaking, IPv6 should be there to *solve* problems, not to add.
