5.1.1.  Multi-homed Home Network

   In this case, the Home Network of the Mobile Node (MN) is multi-
   homed.  This implies the availability of multiple Home Network
   prefixes, resulting on multiple HoAs for each MN........


Is the "multihomed home network" equal to the multiple home networks?
or what are their differences?
or could the "multihomed home network" be replaced with the "multiple 
home networks"?

I think, like a multihomed node, a multihomed home network should refer 
to a single home network (i.e. a network prefix) can be reachable 
through different paths. Therefore, for a single home network, no matter 
it is multhomed or not, it should be a home network prefix.

Is my understanding right?


Cheers,
Deguang
