I envision an Internet of the future where anyone with any mixture of any type of network connections can achieve, automatically, provider independence and inbound/outbound load sharing across disparate links.400 million Joe Sixpacks and their counterparts around the globe, all wanting to run BGPto multihome the /29 in their basement. Be careful what you ask for, you may get it.
With a protocol to distribute which prefixes (with weighting) are viable, a end node could just select a appropritate source address out of several provider assigned ones and use source address routing to find a appropropiate exit path which doesn't break BCP 38. This is as good as the NAT solutions for small-site multi-homing today. Mark -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: marka () isc org
