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?
not really, this means that the home network is multihomed, meaning
that the home network is located in a multihomed site, i.e. that the
home network is attached to the internet through multiple providers and
that each of these providers has delegated a prefix to the home network
The result is that there are multiple prefix in the home network (as in
any multihomed site) and that each of the prefixes available
corresponds to on of the isp providing internet access to the home
network
or what are their differences?
or could the "multihomed home network" be replaced with the "multiple
home networks"?
i guess not, a mobile node that has multiple (single-homed) home
networks is a multihomed mobile node but the home networks are not
multihomed
this is kind of messy, i agree
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?
almost
a multihomed home network refers as you say to a single home network
indeed
but this home network is multihomed, meaning that it has multiple
providers, hence multiple prefixes
hope this helps
regards, marcelo
Cheers,
Deguang
