The practice of connecting a host to more than one network is called Multihoming. This can
increase reliability and performance. Various ways to performmultihoming are –
- Host multihoming
In this type of multihoming, a single host can be connected to two or more networks. For
example a computer connected to both a local network and a wi-fi network.
2. Classical multihoming
In this type of multihoming, a single network is connected to multiple providers. Edge router communicates with providers using dynamic routing protocols. This protocol can recognize failures and reconfigure routing tables without hosts being aware of it. It requires address space recognized by all providers, hence it is costly.
