Abstract
A multihomed enterprise or AS(Autonomous System) improves reliability and performance by acquiring its Internet connectivity from more than two ISP(Internet Service Provider). Multihoming protocol must allow a multihomed site whose connectivity through one of the ISPs fails to keep its Internet connectivity As one of mechanisms to do this, tunneling mechanism through Non-direct EBGP(Exterior Border Gateway Protocol) is defined. This mechanism makes connectivity to the Internet more reliable, but causes the problem that makes the communication route non-optimal. In this paper, we propose the route optimization mechanism using an extension header in the IPv6 multihoming environment.
