Abstract

We extend the mobile network architecture protocol"LIN6", to support multihoming, and design a ne Application Program Interface (API) that enables an applicationto support multihoming. The LIN6's addressing architecture makes it possible to support what we call end-to-endmultihoming without any inconsistency. In end-to-end multihoming, a fault-tolerant connection can be achieved relying not on routers but on the pair of end-nodes only. Thenew APIs make it easy to write an application that supportsmultihoming and robust connections. The extension to theLIN6 protocol and the new APIs give the capability of multihoming to the LIN6 protocol.
