Hi, If you are looking for the experience of setting up multihoming and BGP but not actually using multihoming and not using BGP for its intended purpose, might I suggest joining the DN42 project instead of filling up the real internet's routing tables with useless junk data? There is a reason that you are supposed to need to be multihoming to get an ASN assigned to you. Regards.
