[rpd] New Policy Proposal Received - "Multihoming not required for ASN (AFPUB-2019-ASN-DRAFT01)"

[Jaco Kroon]

Hi,

If you're not multihoming your upstream can simply point a static route 
towards you.  No need for an ASN.

Even if you're multihoming that's still possible, but in that case 
you're more likely to want the control that having an ASN gives you.

Kind Regards,
Jaco
