Can a host have more than one IP address? Explain.

What will be an ideal response?

Yes. A host computer with multiple network connections is said to be multi-homed. Multi-
homing is sometimes used to increase reliability. Namely, if one network fails, the host can still reach
the Internet through the second connection. Also multi-homing may be used to increase performance
connections to multiple networks can make it possible to send traffic directly and avoid routers,
which are sometimes congested.
