In order for the network to reliably reach the owned IP addresses on a subscriber subnet, it is not necessary for the owning node to advertise the IP addresses as /32 host routes into the core. Network reachability to the subscriber subnet is advertised into the IGP core by both of the dual homing nodes. The shortest path to the subscriber may not always traverse the active path for a subscriber. In this case, the path traverses the non-active/primary node for the subscriber and the traffic is redirected through the redundant interface to the other node through the redundant interface to the active path. This ensures that all downstream traffic to a subscriber always flows through one node.
