Multipath overlay network and its multipath 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.

1. A method of communication in a first node, comprising:
sending a join request to a second node to route communication associated with a third node to the first node, the join request comprising a first node identifier associated with the first node, wherein the join request is sent based on a path setup indication received from the third node; receiving from the second node a join response comprising a second node identifier associated with the second node, wherein the second node identifier and the first node identifier are linked to direct communication associated with the second node identifier to the first node identifier; sending a setup request to the third node, the setup request comprising the second node identifier; and receiving a communication with the first node identifier from the second node, the communication originating from the third node.
