Method and apparatus for TCP/IP multihoming on a host system configured with multiple independent transport provider systems

摘要: A multihomed host system is configured with independent front end processor transport providers, each having its own network protocol stack and being connected to a different TCP/IP or subnetwork portions of the same which in turn connects an internetnetwork. The software includes Transport Agent located between sockets interface system's input/output supervisor driver facilities. enhanced include FEP Multihoming Routing component for providing multihoming capability. utilizes plurality components are from administrator supplied configuration static routing information furnished FEPs configuring their respective When so configured, able provide full support variety requests types applications run on system.
