Just a short comment from the RIR perspective.
The issues brought up in this discussion are questions that the RIPE NCC hostmasters are confronted with daily in the IP request handling.
Requesters who wish to multi-home (for one reason or the other) often ask the hostmasters for advise on whether to do it with PI address space or by having their upstream announcing a more specific route within a PA aggregate (which is then also separately announced through a second upstream).
Rather than the RIRs giving advise on these operational matters, we think it would be appropriate and helpful if these recommendations would come from the ISP community.
A few BCPs or guideline documents would be useful to point these requesters to.
Do you know somebody from other RIRs who has been working on these issues? Do you know somebody from other RIRs who already have done these issues? Do you think that this technology acceptance will be reached without changes to other BCPs or guideline documents?
Could this be an initiative for the routing-wg?
I think it would be nice.
Kind regards,
