Multihomed Host/Firewall: A device that has multiple network interfaces, each connected to a different network. This is commonly used for redundancy and load balancing, ensuring that even if one network goes down, the device can continue to function. It also provides a means to manage and segregate traffic, enhancing control and potentially improving security by preventing potential threats from crossing between networks.
