Abstract:
This disclosure describes an application-level multi-path transport protocol (MPTP) mechanism for establishing a plurality of communication paths between a sender device and a receiver device to transmit and receive data packets. The mechanism at the sender end includes a plurality of send connectors each being a sender endpoint of a communication path, a path table that maintains characteristics of the bi-directional communication paths, a scheduler that determines a suitable send connector over which to transmit each data packet, and a send buffer that buffers the data packets prior to transmission. The mechanism at the receiver end includes a plurality of receive connectors each being a receiver endpoint of a communication path, a path table that maintains characteristics of the bi-directional communication paths, a receive buffer that buffers the data packets received by the receive connectors, and an assembler that reassembles the plurality of data packets in the receive buffer.

Claim (Index 15):
A multi-path transport protocol (MPTP) API for establishing a plurality of bi-directional communication paths between two end points to transmit and receive a plurality of data packets, comprising:\n a plurality of connectors each being a network interface for a communication path established between the two end points; a path table configured to maintain characteristics of the plurality of communication paths; a scheduler configured to determine a suitable connector to transmit each data packet using one of the plurality of communication paths between the two end points; a buffer configured to buffer the plurality of data packets prior to transmission or receiving to or from the connectors; and an assembler configured to reassemble the plurality of data packets received from the connectors and stored in the buffer.
