Understanding Multiple ISPs

BORDER GATEWAY PROTOCOL (BGP) is one of the key protocols to use to achieve Internet connection redundancy. When you connect your network to two different Internet service providers (ISPs), it is called multihoming. Multihoming provides redundancy and network optimization. it selects the ISP which offers the best path to a resource when you run BGP with more than one service provider. You can have as many ISPs in the house as there are providers that serve that address. Multiple connections from the same provider may not be possible.
