Abstract:
A method is provided for exchanging data flows between two terminals, via a multipath link formed of a plurality of transmission channels at least one of the channels of which is a unidirectional channel. The method implements two interface modules operating in transmission mode or in reception mode, respectively. In transmission mode, an interface module separates the transmitted data flow into a plurality of secondary data flows and transits them via the plurality of transmission channels. In reception mode, it reassembles the received secondary data flows into a single data flow. The interface modules route the acknowledgement information of the data packets transiting via a unidirectional channel via the return path of a bidirectional channel.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for exchanging data flows between two terminals, a server terminal providing data to a client terminal, by way of a multipath link formed of a plurality of transmission channels, said data flow containing data transmitted from the server terminal to the client terminal and also acknowledgement information transmitted in the same flow from the client terminal to the server terminal, said method implementing an interface module dedicated to transmitting the data forming said data flow, configured to separate said data flow into a plurality of secondary data flows and to transit said secondary data flows via said plurality of transmission channels forming the multipath link, and also an interface module dedicated to receiving said data, configured to receive the data forming the secondary data flows transmitted via said plurality of channels and multipath link to reassemble said secondary data flows into a single data flow;\n wherein at least one of the channels of said multipath link is a unidirectional channel without any return path, the interface modules furthermore being configured to route the acknowledgement information of the data packets forming a secondary data flow transiting via a unidirectional channel by associating it with the acknowledgement information of the data packets forming a secondary data flow transiting via a bidirectional channel.
