I'm mainly talking about the lack of a feasible way for end-customers to get working multi-homing. This ties directly into the "PI" space question.
Multihoming today depends on the possession of an AS number. I see no alternative to that prerequisite.
No, (global) AS number is definitely not required, and if you really want, you could do without even a private ASn. A rather common scenario is to use private ASN to two providers, and leak more specifics from beyond your preferred ISP to the world -- and connect to the ISP as a secondary which owns the aggregate. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds."
