• NEW LAYERS FUNCTION IN MULTIHOMING ARCHITECTURE

Abstract

Layer of Networking is vital function in establishment of the connections and data communication. Various protocols are used to create Multihoming environment. BGP, SCTP and overlay routing are used in single or mixtures of these to achieving the multihoming. BGP take care only the outside network. While SCTP control the streaming of the network. Multihoming [3] is yet achieved with help of mixtures of various technologies. No pure dedicated protocol has been design yet to keep in mind the requirement of Multihoming and especially with current scenario of a network having packets of heavy loads like IP TV [11], Digital phone calls and remote live operations and normal Internet demand. Some steps to handle such problems should be initiated to create a pathway for future before it gets too late. IPv6 [4] is now ready to take place in real world which is going to revolutionize the world with it great power in mixture of Multihoming.
