| Abstract | A proper support for communications has to provide fault tolerance capabilities such as the preservation of established connections in case of failures. Multi-homing addresses this issue, but the currently available solution based in massive BGP route injection presents serious scalability limitations, since it contributes to the exponential growth of the BGP table size. An alternative solution based on the configuration of tunnels between the multihomed site exit routers and the ISP border routers has been proposed for IPv6 in RFC 3178. However, the amount of manual configuration imposed by this solution on the ISP side prevents its wide adoption. In particular, this solution requires at the ISP the manual configuration of a tunnel endpoint per each multihomed client that it serves. In this paper we present a Multi-Homing Tunnel Broker (MHTB) that provides automatic creation of the tunnel endpoint at the ISP side. |
