2. Multihoming - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multihoming

   Multihoming is the practice of connecting a host or a computer network to more than one network. This can be done in order to increase reliability or performance. A typical host or end-user network is connected to just one network. Connecting to multiple networks can increase reliability because if one connection fails, packets can still be routed through the remaining connection. Connecting ...

3. Virtual hosting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_hosting

   Name-based virtual hosts use multiple host names for the same IP address. A technical prerequisite needed for name-based virtual hosts is a web browser with HTTP/1.1 support (commonplace today) to include the target hostname in the request. This allows a server hosting multiple sites behind one IP address to deliver the correct site's content.

4. End system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_System

   End systems are generally connected to each other using switching devices known as routers rather than using a single communication link. The path that transmitted information takes from the sending end system, through a series of communications links and routers, to the receiving end system is known as a route or path through the network.

5. Internetworking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internetworking

   Internetworking is the practice of interconnecting multiple computer networks, [1]: 169 such that any pair of hosts in the connected networks can exchange messages irrespective of their hardware-level networking technology. The resulting system of interconnected networks is called an internetwork, or simply an internet.

6. Common Address Redundancy Protocol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Address_Redundancy...

   The Common Address Redundancy Protocol or CARP is a computer networking protocol which allows multiple hosts on the same local area network to share a set of IP addresses. Its primary purpose is to provide failover redundancy, especially when used with firewalls and routers. In some configurations, CARP can also provide load balancing ...

7. Network bridge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_bridge

   A network bridge is a computer networking device that creates a single, aggregate network from multiple communication networks or network segments. This function is called network bridging. [1] Bridging is distinct from routing. Routing allows multiple networks to communicate independently and yet remain separate, whereas bridging connects two ...
