BINDING/AGGREGATING MULTIPLE INTERFACES AT APPLICATION LAYER

摘要

A bundler utility of a client accomplishes an objective of binding/aggregating two or more network interfaces at an application layer to increase bandwidth that the application layer can use. This interface is determined by the longest prefix match in the routing table of the device. Rather than imposing a change to the IP stack, the bundler utility presents a solution to the link aggregation problem that can be deployed without requiring any change to the client software (e.g., no browser change) and without requiring changes on the web servers.
