Hi, Vijay:
Some of the benefits Simple multihoming mechanism than
multihoming to one ISP are as follows:
The tail circuits to the customer have the opportunity
to go through diverse infrastructure (e.g. fiber)
which would increase reliability.
Instead of going to different POPs from the same ISP,
the customer will be able to go to the close POPs of
two ISPs. Therefore, the distance for the 2nd tail
circuit can be shorter resulting money saving.
The customer can reach part of the Internet (at least
customers of ISP2) without relying on ISP1.

This is going to be an informational. A relatively
simple mechanism for multihoming while achiving
maxmium aggregation. An option for people whose
situation fits.
