Estimation of network conditions of individual paths in a multi-path connection involving a device not aware of multi-path signaling
Abstract:
A method for estimating network conditions of a multi-path connection between a server and a client that is not aware of multi-path signalling. The server having a plurality of communication interfaces connected to a same communication interface of the client through a respective plurality of paths, the method begins, at the server, by obtaining at least one parameter characterizing the client, determining, based on the at least one obtained parameter, an order for successively considering each path of two or more paths. The method may continue for each path successively considered, sending data over at least the path considered, and receiving, over a reception path, at least one feedback message, in response to the sent data and determining network conditions of the two or more paths, using the received feedback messages.
