Multipath Transmission Model and Its Route Selection Policy Considering Packet Re-sequencing Buffers Availability

Abstract

Multipath transmission in intermediate nodes is a promising approach to support high bandwidth applications. To prevent out-of-order packet deliveries, packet re-sequencing nodes must be deployed. In this paper, we propose a multipath transmission model that incorporates packet re-sequencing buffers and the Random with Availability Check policy. After mathematically analyzing the model, we show numerical comparisons between the Random with Availability Check and Random policies.
