Multihoming is a concept that has proved itself in wired networks for transporting information on the Internet, but its integration in mobile networks comes to make the two types of protocol cohabit. This chapter tries to integrate the concept of multihoming into ad hoc mobile networks by using the BGP protocol. It uses it with the category of reactive protocols such as AODV, then with those of proactive protocols such as OLSR. Two main elements can be distinguished from this topology: a source node and another destination. The BGP is also characterized by the fact that it avoids using periodic update messages only during a change in topology. By contrast a reactive routing protocol such as AODV, which provides a mechanism for repairing routes locally at each node, economizes on transmission of route search and response messages; it avoids triggering congestion in the network.
