ASSIGNMENT OF A COMMON NETWORK ADDRESS TO MULTIPLE NETWORK INTERFACES OF A COMPUTING DEVICE

摘要

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for enabling assignment of a common network address to multiple network interfaces of a computing device attached to a network domain. An apparatus (302) may include a processor (310) configured to send a message to a mobility access gateway (306) comprising a request that a mobile host device (302) be assigned a common network address for simultaneous use on multiple network interfaces of the mobile host device through which the mobile host device is attached to the network domain. The processor may be further configured to receive a message comprising network address information from the mobility access gateway indicating that the mobile host device has been assigned a common network address for simultaneous use on multiple network interfaces of the mobile host device through which the mobile host device is attached to the network domain. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.
