They are different providers. DSL 1 is 384k/1.5m adsl at pacbell dsl2 is 768k sdsl landmark (lmki) > they are differing providers, there is no way you can feasably implement > BGP. If they are redundant paths to the same ISP you could ask them to What do t1 and t3 customers do? Is the only criteria for "feasibility" a need for more IPs? > issue you a reserved ASN (65512 - 65535) and announce your /28 into their > network via ebgp sessions.

I could get a second link to pacbell, but sometimes their entire network gets unstable, and I would still need a second provider. Doing the same with the other provider would require four links, and still wouldn't fix the problem if one ISP crashing completely. > > Realistically, you aren't going to make this happen.

Can you get traffic from ipv4 into the 6BONE from the "normal" internet? How would I be addressed? I probably wouldn't choose my ISP then, I'd choose a company that connects to several ISPs, and that'll be more expensive. :( > - jsw > > Mike
