The present disclosure is directed to controlling a sending of a single data stream from a sending endpoint to a receiving endpoint. Both of the endpoints each have multiple physical interfaces connecting each endpoint to one or more networks. A buffer size is selected for a buffer at the receiving endpoint, and an estimation is made by the receiving endpoint of a fill rate of the buffer. The estimated fill rate is then compared with a target fill rate. Feedback is then sent by the receiving endpoint over one or more of the physical interfaces instructing the sending endpoint to reduce or increase a rate at which data is being sent, if the estimated fill rate is more than the target fill rate or the estimated fill rate is less than the target fill rate, respectively. The splitting and sending of data is then adjusted according to the feedback.
