PARALLEL MULTIPATH ROUTING ARCHITECTURE

摘要

Disclosed are various embodiments for a parallel multipath routing architecture. An edge node of an overlay network receives packets to be communicated to a destination network address. The received packets are encoded for communication through multiple paths of the overlay network leading to a second edge node communicatively coupled to the destination network address. The packets are duplicated across the multiple paths to minimize the likelihood of packet loss. The second edge node discards duplicated instances of the packets and regenerates the original packets for forwarding to the destination network address.

1. A system, comprising:
at least one first computing device configured to at least:
receive a plurality of baseline packets addressed to at least one destination address;generate a plurality of overlay packets from the plurality of baseline packets, the plurality of overlay packets comprising metadata to facilitate a communication of the plurality of overlay packets via a plurality of paths of an overlay network to the at least one destination address;communicate the plurality of overlay packets to each of at least one first relay node corresponding to each of the plurality of paths of the overlay network; at least one second computing device configured to at least:
receive the plurality of overlay packets from the overlay network;generate the plurality of baseline packets from the plurality of overlay packets; andcommunicate the plurality of baseline packets to the at least one destination network address.
