BGP Multi Homing | Redundant Internet Connection Providers Minnesota

BPG is one of the key tools for achieving Internet connection redundancy. With BGP, Nextera provides one of your two Internet feeds, which is called multi-homing. When you multi-home your network to two different ISPs, BGP runs on your router(s) and provides redundancy and network prioritization by selecting which ISP offers the best path to resources.
