I should have made myself more clear -- the policy amendment would make clear that multihoming requires only one facilities-based connection and that the other connections could be fulfilled via tunnels. This may be heresy for some.
That's not multihoming.
Really? Lets try these and see how you do: 1) One IP connection via a T-1. Second IP connection via GRE tunnel carried on first. 2) One IP connection via a T-1 that doesn't have transit, only peering with providers B and C. IP connections via two GRE tunnels to providers B and C. 3) One IP connection via MPLS over T-1. Second IP connection via different MPLS virtual circuit over the same T-1. 4) One IP connection via Frame Relay over T-1. Second IP connection via Frame Relay over the same T-1. 5) One IP connection via a T-1. Second IP connection via a different T-1 that is multiplexed on the same DS3. 6) One IP connection via a T-1. Second IP connection via a different T-1 that is on separate physical pairs, but in the same cable bundle. Matthew Kaufman
