I think that's a market problem rather than a routing problem. In the long term, If we had separation of L2 and L3 service providers there would be very, very few who need L3 redundancy; and that amount would be fine using BGP. Metro Ethernet services are making it a bit easier to accomplish this

It's a security and operational issue. The perception is that it's easier to monitor, manage, and filter one address per host instead of 3. For most in the enterprise world it's a non-starter to have that setup; even if that perception is a false one. Not sure I have the energy to re-hash the ti

Actually, a vastly inferior solution, but, it does have the attraction of being able to continue to ignore the need for scalable routing for several more years. In reality, we need to solve the scalable routing problem at some point and having everyone jump into the IPv6 BGP world for multihoming

I try to avoid the Obfuscation argument when I can. I've seen people try to be smart by telling Law Enforcement that they don't keep logs and can't point to which host was a problem behind a NAT box, only to see Law Enforcement take all the PCs instead of the one in question. So it's always made

Today you're probably correct. If you want to have more than one provider reliably you pretty much need to be doing BGP; or have some sort of primary-backup setup to fail over from one to the other; or give each host a global address from each provider (really not desirable in the majority of netw

The vastly better option is to obtain a prefix and ASN from ARIN and merely trade BGP with your upstream providers. Prefix translation comes with all the same disabilities that are present when you do this in IPv4. In IPv4, everyone's software expects you to have a broken network (NAT) and the
