Re: BGP Multihoming 2 providers full or partial?
Hi, We've have recently published new version of our BGP routing optimization platform where we included new feature called: vRouter. That might be interesting for you. The vRouter provides route summarization support to BGP routers whose TCAM is unable to hold the entire actual feed of Internet prefixes. In this case BGP edge routers work in 'Selective Route Download' mode and transmit the full routing table to the vRouter. The NSI vRouter selects a number of prefixes to which the most data is routed and advertises the necessary routes back to the edge router. Thereby the edge router does not have to support the entire routing table, but only the routes it needs to reach. Please contact me off-list if you need more details.

If your traffic is small, you could setup a VyOS box. You can still get redundancy by having two switches, each one connected to an upstream provider receiving a default route. Then hookup your VyOS router to each switch and receive full routes to that. You will need a /29 subnet from your providers to pull this off. If your VyOS box goes down for whatever reason, you will failover to using one or the other switch. Announce your prefixes using the BGP session on each switch so that your inbound traffic doesn't hit the VyOS box.
