Abstract:
A system and method for generating a set of IP addresses for access multi-homing in an Internet access network. A generating host obtains from the network a set of IPv6 subnet prefixes for a plurality of available Internet Service Providers, ISPs. The generating host generates a single IPv6 interface identifier from the subnet prefixes and cryptographically binds the subnet prefixes with the single IPv6 interface identifier. A remote peer verifies that all of the IP addresses belong together by independently generating the IPv6 interface identifier from the same set of subnet prefixes and comparing the result with the IPv6 interface identifier generated by the generating host.
