Lets see the following example:

Should AS-CUSTOMER be considered as multihomed?
Definitely, as they'd probably have more then one eBPG session, and probably a different routing policy.
I don't see any reason to treat "customer" status (i.e. packets shipped for money) different from "peering" status (i.e. packets shipped for "free").
In this case, RIPE would have to have presence at every IX to not to get false positives. -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems. Networks. Security. -- Robert Jordan: A Crown of Swords
