Abstract

See full text

A capability for cross-layer aware communication of a multipath data flow via a communication network is presented. The multipath data flow is transported using a set of multiple transmission flows based on a multipath transport protocol. The communication network supports a set of multiple communication paths. A controller is configured to determine a set of mappings between the multiple transmission flows of the multipath data flow and the multiple communication paths based on cross-layer state information, compute a set of path mapping rules for a network element based on the mappings between the multiple transmission flows of the multipath data flow and the multiple communication paths, and provide the path mapping rules to the network element. The network element is configured to apply the path mapping rules for mapping packets of the multipath data flow between the multiple transmission flows of the multipath data flow and the multiple communication paths.
