multi-homing

Multi-homing refers to the practice of a device, network, or organization connecting to multiple internet service providers (ISPs) or networks simultaneously. This setup enhances reliability and resilience, ensuring continuous connectivity if one provider experiences issues. It also improves performance by balancing traffic across different connections. Multi-homing is common among large companies, data centers, and internet infrastructure to ensure stable, high-availability access, reducing the risk of outages and increasing bandwidth options.
