Re: [isp-bgp] BCP for multi-homing to the same provider entail using a private ASN

[Jeffrey Belles <jaffa@...>]

Jon,

From http://www.sprint.net/faq/as1790.html

"
The Autonomous System 1790 is reserved for use exclusively by those 
customers that do not currently have another Internet Service Provider, 
and currently have, or are in the process of implementing, multiple 
connections utilizing the same IP space (multi-homed neworks) into the 
Sprintlink backbone, via a dedicated IP Private Line. To utilize AS 
1790, please contact your account team for ordering information.
"

Might be what you're looking for?
