Multi-homing is here to stay, in a big way.  It will only become
more popular, no matter how good the ISP's become, for a number of
reasons.  Any future protocol or policy discussions should take
this as a given.

    Please don't confuse "I need more than one pipe into the internet"
with "my organization must place its prefixes into the default free
zone".


    It is possible to effectively use multiple pipes into many ISPs
without the cost to all of us that introducing your prefix into the
DFZ has.
