Perhaps the networks are disconnected? Perhaps there is insufficient bandwidth between the cities to carry inter-city traffic?So, why would GRE not be a reasonable (temporary) solution here? If the islands are going to remain disconnected long term, why not get additional AS numbers?
It is non-trivial to get additional ASNs, even if you are multi-homed in multiple sites.
Doesn't mean it can't be done.But AS exhaustion is far more critical than IP exhaustion. (Or even RIB/FIB/proc exhaustion through additional prefixes, IMHO.) So if they want to be .. uh, well, a good 'Netizen and use one AS with static routes or defaults or something to route between them, that's better than a slew of ASes with the same prefix info we have today.
