If you want to enjoy the FULL benefits of multi-homing, all

Probably the typical site could achieve 95% of the benefits
of multihoming with an impact on only 5% of the global Internet.\
Depends on what your definition of benefits is...
What is needed is some sort of feedback loop that weighs the
interest of multi-homing entities against its impact on
remote parts of the infrastructure.
That is the basis of the multi-6 wg requirements document. Unfortunately
there are so many competing interests that it is impossible to meet them
all with a simple solution. The end sites want capabilities that strain
the resources of the service providers, and the service providers want
approaches that are non-starters for the end sites.
