Transparent Proxy Architecture for Multi-Path Data Connections

摘要

A method for implementing a transparent concurrent multiple-network communication which maintains end-to-end Internet protocol (IP) semantics and compatibility includes the steps of: providing a proxy architecture between a client device and a corresponding server device utilizing the multiple-network communication; intercepting, by the proxy architecture, communications between the client device and the server device to obtain information relating to an interaction between the client and server devices in a manner which is transparent to the client and server devices; and controlling the interaction between the client and server devices by the proxy architecture as a function of the obtained information relating to the interaction between the client and server devices.
