Packets to be transmitted are received and stored by a first stand alone component. A packet sequencer may be generated and/or sequence number within packets may be used to track the transmitted packets of a given packet flow. Thus, packets may now be transmitted through different network paths. Transmitted packets are reassembled, by a second standalone component, in the order transmitted. A dropped packet may be identified and retransmission of the dropped packet requested. A copy of the dropped packet may be retransmitted from the first standalone component to the second without retransmitting the entire series of packets following the dropped packet. A confirmation packet by the second standalone component is generated to measure performance attributes of various network paths. The confirmation packet is used by the first standalone component to determine the next network path to be used to transmit the next packet in the given packet flow.
