I personally figure as people become more and more dependent on Internet connectivity (e.g., not just for communication/ entertainment, but for system monitoring and control), multi-homing will become the norm rather than the exception.</blockquote><div> Let's suppose I'm SOHO user. Also let's suppose I have IPv6 only in form of /48 from one of tunnel brokers(native IPv6 is not available to me). And I want to multihome via IPv6(and think I have need for it). I think this would be rather common situation in near future. How I could do it now? - Where I can get PI space? And how much it will cost? - How I could get BGP sessions established with several ISPs?Is it possible at all now?(for small SOHO user) - What I could use as router(s)?Linux machine with Quagga(I'm SOHO user after all so no specialized Cisco gear)? How I can do it in 1-2 years from now? Or I better forget this idea and just get several /48s from different sources and let machines under my control to get several addresses and hope that in case one of connections will be broken, application-level mechanisms will retry and establish connection using different addresses?(in this case, i think this will be blatant waste of /48s _and_ decreased reliability for SOHO user) </div></div> -- -- Best Regards, Dmitriy Kazimirov, C++ Developer of ISS Art, Ltd., Omsk, Russia Web: <a href="http://www.issart.com">http://www.issart.com</a> E-mail: <a href="mailto:dkazimirov@issart.com">dkazimirov@issart.com</a> Personal <a href="mailto:e-mail:dkazimirow@gmail.com">e-mail:dkazimirow@gmail.com</a>
