Claim 0:
1. A system, comprising:
at least one device comprising a processor, wherein the at least one device is configured to:
send, to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), instructions to transmit a first type of telemetry data via a single path, and to transmit a second type of telemetry data via multipathing;
receive, from the UAV, the first type of telemetry data via the single path;
receive, from the UAV, a first duplicate message generated from the second type of telemetry data, wherein the first duplicate message is labeled with a first identifier and is received via a first network;
compare a first incremented value of the first identifier in a first header field to a second incremented value of a second identifier included in a second header field of a second duplicate message, received from the UAV, to determine whether the second duplicate message is generated from the second type of telemetry data and has been received previously from the UAV, via a second network that is different than the first network, wherein the first header field and the second header field differ;
process the first duplicate message when the first incremented value is equal to or greater than the second incremented value; and
discard the first duplicate message when the first incremented value is less than the second incremented value.
