Multihoming
Multihoming refers to a computer or a device that has connectivity to one or more networks via two or more methods, either wired or wireless. Multihoming is becoming more common, especially with the wide use of wireless devices, such as Pocket PCs and wireless connectivity on laptops. Multihoming automatically selects the route with best performance for a particular data transfer. Each route has a corresponding interface, therefore the selection of the best route also implies an interface selection for an outgoing connection.
