Multipath overlay network and its multi-path management protocol

摘要

A method, a computer program product, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus, which is a first node, sends a join request to a second node to route communication associated with a third node to the first node. The join request includes a first node identifier associated with the first node. The first node receives from the second node a join response comprising a second node identifier associated with the second node. The first node sends a setup request to the third node, the setup request comprising the second node identifier. The first node receives a communication with the first node identifier from the second node, the communication originating from the third node.
