Strange practices?

Has anyone ever heard of a multi-homed enterprise not running bgp with either of 2 providers, but instead, each provider statically routes a block to their common customer and also each originates this block in BGP? One of the ISP's in this case owns the block and has even provided a letter of

* Dale Cornman: I had personally never heard of this and am curious if this is a common practice as well as if this would potentially create any problems by 2 Autonomous Systems both originating the same prefix. The 6to4 anycast gateway RFC practically mandates this, and it does work when

I would say partitioning into two AS's like this is not a good thing. I wouldn't consider it a valid design myself, and would avoid it if possible. If one of the AS's that is announcing the block, originates any traffic into the other AS for that block, the traffic will drop. I realize this

Let me recant on what I said. I re-read and had myself confused (apologies). I see that the providers are using their own AS's. I still would not do this if it could be avoided, but the traffic won't be dropped like I had said, in the way I was thinking. What I was thinking was a case

It's going to show inconsistent AS which some people may not like, but that's just ugly not broken. As the customer, it means your outgoing path selection is probably being made on the basis of some non-global attribute, and the return path is entirely at the mercy of your two isps... I

Steve, We are obviously interpreting this in different slants. Definition of Transit service: for example, AS200 is said to receive transit service from, let's say AS3356, if through this connection, AS200 receives connectivity to the entire Internet and not only AS3356 and its customers. Yes
