Definitions

Multiple network paths can be established by the protocols on different network stack layers and can be used to send traffic data, enhance the connection reliability, achieve load balancing, etc.

Multipath transmission technology allows a network device equipped with multiple network interfaces (a.k.a a “multi-homed” device) to use multiple network paths for data transmission.

Collaborative multipath transmission is a promising technology toward collaboration multipathing by involving the full cooperation of all network elements (e.g., network nodes and protocol stacks) in multipath transmission.

Historical Background

In the past several years, wireless networking technologies have undergone a rapid development. Significant advances in these wireless technologies have enabled today’s network devices to be equipped with multiple network interfaces (Sinky et al., 2019; Elgabli et al., 2019). Such multi-homed...
