I agree with the above, and most of your post. One question, is it
necessary to enumerate these reasons now, or is it sufficient to say that:
(1) There are some ISPs who do not care about asymmetric traffic
(2) There are some ISPs who may negotiate with the customer to allow it,
as a service?
I do not propose that we require ISPs to carry asymmetric traffic. Is it
still worthwhile to develop multihoming solutions that are available to
those that do?
