A Survey of Multihoming Technology in Stub Networks: Current Research and Open Issues

Multihoming technology can be traced back to the 1980s or even earlier, but it seldom drew much attention from the research community. Recently, with the explosive deployment of multihoming on the Internet, researchers have started to investigate the issues that were raised by multihoming networks. This article draws an overall picture of multihoming technology, presents current research on multihoming networks, and discusses the issues that must be studied in the future
