Title : Problem Statement and Requirements for Multi-link
Transport

Multi-link transport can offer higher bandwidth and more robust
connections. Because of a wide variety of emerged wireless access
technologies, a mobile host can potentially have subscriptions and
access more than one wireless network simultaneously. This document
introduces example applications which use multiple links in a
connection simultaneously and illustrates the advantages of multi-link
transport. A problem with those applications is that the efficient
multi-link transport needs much more knowledge about each link
characteristics such as bandwidth, delay, reliability and robustness.
This document defines the requirements for efficient and adaptive
multi-link transport and also describes the link information that
multi-stream senders can require.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
