RE: Confussion over multi-homing

Wouldn't one of the ISPs have to advertise a longer prefix?

actually, to do it right, both have to advertise the longer prefix -- or more specifically, they have to both make holes in their filters permitting the multi-homed site to advertise them. this is what we're doing in our Troy, NY facility -- we have 2 upstreams, and we have a /24 from one of them, which both of them pass through. richard
