Greetings,
I have a question about this. For reference, I'll use the following from
section 7.4.2 of the SCTP Reference Guide by Steward and Xie:
Host A Host Z
+-----+ +-----+
| | +---+ ************ | |
| |--------------| R |------* * | |
| |1.2 +---+ * * +---+ | |
| | 1.1 * IP *------| R |--------| |
| | * network * +---+ 3.2| |
| | +---+ * * 3.1 | |
| |--------------| R |------* * | |
| |2.2 +---+ ************ | |
+-----+ 2.1 +-----+
"R" = router
Host A routing table Host Z routing table
==================== ====================
Destination Gateway Destination Gateway
----------- ------- ----------- -------
3.0 1.1 1.0 3.1
2.0 3.1
The contraint here is that Host Z cannot have an additional address.
Assuming the route in Host A routing table is the "default" route, would
an additional "static" route help achieve multi-homing?
Host A routing table (proposed)
====================
Destination Gateway
----------- -------
3.0 1.1 (default)
3.0 2.1 (static)
Thanks,
