Abstract:
Multipath transport is an important way to improve the efficiency of
data delivery. This document defines a multipath transport system
framework in which application-level relays are deployed to provide
the conditions to enable multiple paths between source and
destination. In the proposed framework, endpoints are allowed to use
multiple paths, including the default IP path and relay paths, to
transport data in a single session. A relay path may via one or more
relays which provide application-level relay services for endpoints.
This framework defines three kinds of logical entities including user
agent, relay server and relay controller. Relay server provides relay
service for user agents based on a local path-table. Relay controller
manages relay servers and relay paths. User agent maintains multiple
end-to-end paths which include a default path and multiple relay
paths. The framework also defines a relay service control protocol
named OpenPath protocol in control plane to manage relay paths, and a
profile of multipath transport protocol suite in data plane to
facilitate multipath data transport. The multipath transport system
framework can support various applications including applications
requiring timely delivery of real-time data such as streaming media,
and applications requiring ordered reliable delivery of stream of
data such as file transfer.
