TLDR
A multipath scheduler is designed and implemented that distributes the incoming traffic among multiple available paths and confirms effectiveness and TCP-friendliness of multipath transfer for a range of path bandwidths and in the presence of cross-traffic.Abstract:
Multi-interface mobile devices and multihomed residential Internet connections are becoming commonplace. However, standard transport protocols TCP and SCTP are unable to take advantage of several available paths so that the application using a single transport connection would receive the aggregate bandwidth of all paths. Multihoming and advanced security features make the Host Identity Protocol a good candidate to provide multipath data delivery. In this paper, we design and implement a multipath scheduler that distributes the incoming traffic among multiple available paths. Using Fastest Path First scheduling, packets from a single TCP connection could be spread to multiple paths with no reordering. Our simulations confirm effectiveness and TCP-friendliness of multipath transfer for a range of path bandwidths and in the presence of cross-traffic.1read more

Method and apparatus for multipath communication
Abstract: In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method, comprising exchanging connectivity information, setting up a connection, determining that a correspondent node has at least one access in an inactive state, and transmitting a request to the correspondent node to activate at least one of the at least one access in an inactive state. The setting up may be done based on the exchanged connectivity information.

End-to-end available bandwidth: measurement methodology, dynamics, and relation with TCP throughput
TL;DR: This work describes an end-to-end methodology, called self-loading periodic streams (SLoPS), for measuring avail-bw, and uses pathload, a nonintrusive tool, to evaluate the variability ("dynamics") of the avail- bw in Internet paths.

TL;DR: This document is a survey of Performance Enhancing Proxies often employed to improve degraded TCP performance caused by characteristics of specific link environments, for example, in satellite, wireless WAN, and wireless LAN environments.
Host Identity Protocol
TL;DR: HIP allows consenting hosts to securely establish and maintain shared IP-layer state, allowing separation of the identifier and locator roles of IP addresses, thereby enabling continuity of communications across IP address changes.
