Abstract:
Sending a single data stream from a sending endpoint to a receiving endpoint, wherein both of the sending endpoint and the receiving endpoint each have multiple physical interfaces connecting the sending and receiving endpoint to multiple networks, respectively, is provided. The single data stream is partitioned into multiple data packets. A physical interface is designated on the sending side and the receiving side in accordance with a data capacity throughput of each of the multiple physical interfaces. Different portions of the partitioned data packets are then sent over different ones of the multiple physical interfaces in accordance with the designation. The single data stream is then reconstructed by combining received partitioned data packets into the single data stream in accordance with header information. An acknowledgment is sent to the sending endpoint indicating an amount of data received on each multiple physical interface, including any changes in the data capacity throughput.
