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
application-level 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 servers and 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.
