3. Most multihoming today is done using BGP, but, many other solutions exist with various tradeoffs. In V6, there is currently only one known (BGP) and one proposed, but, unimplemented (Shim6) solution under active consideration by IETF. (this may be untrue, but, it seems to be the common perception even if not reality).
As for "multihoming" in the sense that one wants redundancy, getting two uplinks to the same ISP, or what I have done a couple of times already, multiple tunnels between 2 sites (eg 2 local + 2 remote) and running BGP/OSPF/RIP/VRRP/whatever using (private) ASN's and just providing a default to the upstream network and them announcing their /48 works perfectly fine. The multihoming that people here seem to want though is the Provider Independent one, and that sort of automatically implies some routing method: read BGP. Greets, Jeroen
