But the most important thing we should remember is that currently, routing table growth is artificially limited by relatively strict requirements for getting a /24 or larger. With IPv6 this goes away, and we don't know how many people will want to multihome then.
So why not approach Shim6 as something for basement multihomers rather than enterprises? Honestly, the cost of the second connection is the limiting factor in most decisions not to multihome today, not the difficulty of getting BGP, an ASN, or a /24 from a provider... For your "I have a cablemodem AND a DSL" folks, Shim6 sounds like exactly what they need. However, once you start talking about enterprise-wide policies, etc, Shim6 starts to look like a really heavy hammer. -David David Barak Need Geek Rock?
