Reference number : GC-2017-Q4-01376, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : O'Leary, Stephen (The University of British Columbia), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : British Columbia|Colombie-Britannique, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : In today's modern society, networking between client devices is playing an increasingly vital role in servicing_x000D_
our communication needs. Multi-path network protocols, wherein data from one client device may be_x000D_
broken-up into its constituent components, these components being individually transmitted over a multitude of_x000D_
network pathways, and then reconstituted at the receiving client device, offer the promise of improved_x000D_
performance and enhanced economy. In such a network protocol, network traffic would be routed across_x000D_
multiple access points and multiple networks simultaneously. Unfortunately, while the benefits of a multi-path_x000D_
network protocol are widely recognized, the technical challenges that must be overcome for its implementation_x000D_
have hindered its widespread adoption thus far._x000D_
JA2 Applications, which does business under the yodelME brand, is a Kelowna, British Columbia based firm_x000D_
that develops network solutions. They have recently developed a client application algorithm and associated_x000D_
network configuration process that they assert will allow for multi-path networking on today's available_x000D_
networks without the need for additional network infrastructure. yodelME would like to critically assess the_x000D_
robustness of their multi-path network protocol to variations in network conditions. They also wish to see if_x000D_
further improvements in the networking technology can be acquired._x000D_
Working in concert with the yodelMe development team and yodelME's CTO, Mr. Jeff Brown, we will_x000D_
perform detailed simulations of the network selection behaviour that will be achieved as a consequence of this_x000D_
new proposed network protocol. We will also build a physical test lab comprised of the common physical_x000D_
network interface modalities for mobile devices (i.e. wired via USB, cellular, WiFi, and Bluetooth). The_x000D_
performance of yodelMe's network protocol will be experimentally examined and quantified in terms of_x000D_
network selection predictability, stability, and reliability., program purpose french : In today's modern society, networking between client devices is playing an increasingly vital role in servicing_x000D_
