Multi-homed host on single segment

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

	Consider two machines, A and B on a network segment 192.168.0.0/24
. A has ip address of 192.168.0.1 and B has two interfaces with
ip-addresses of 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3 . The route for 192.168.0.0/24
on B is assigned to the interface with the address of 192.168.0.2 .

	What will happen when A attempts to communicate to B at
192.168.0.3 ? In the case of TCP, packets from A will go from 192.168.0.1
to 192.168.0.3, but the packets from B to A should be from 192.168.0.2 to
192.168.0.1 , right? Wont this cause problems with protocols using TCP? Is
there a way to fix such problems?

Thanks,
Kenneth
