Subject: RE: asymmetric routing


Concerning multiple uplinks to different providers; when you use the
word customer, I am assuming you mean an entity with provider dependent
addressing (Some people will have customers with provider independent
addressing).

It is a common scenario to want provider diversity to guard against
transit provider failure or to implement different policies by service
(i.e. Content Delivery Networks, bulk vs. interactive traffic, etc.).
This does not seem to be limited to IPv4.  There's a draft on this at:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-multi6-v4-multihoming-00.
