RE: IPv6 Routing table will be bloated?

["Frank Bulk - iName.com" <frnkblk () iname com>]

A combo WISP and pre-DOCSIS cable system we bought four years ago in a
relatively rural area had exactly such a setup with Sprint and
UUNet/Verizon/MCI.  They had just one T-1 with each provider and a very
simple BGP configuration.  I just checked, and see that their ASN has been
reused.

I beleive Jack said that they have redundant connections to his network.  I
took that to mean that they did not multihome to different AS.

Such arrangements are not uncommon.  Sprint seems to have done very well
selling this sort of near-turnkey service to rural DSL carriers, tiny single
town MSOs and the like.
