Optimized flow based modeling of multi-path multi-homed transmission

New Multi-Homed Transport Protocols like Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) have the potential to be modified for supporting concurrent multi-path multi-homed connections between the end users. This kind of usage will require optimized flow division among the candidate paths in order to utilize the network resources efficiently. This paper considers the problem of optimizing flow division at the source depending on the performance of these candidate paths. The paper also addresses various optimization objectives depending on whether the application is delay sensitive or delay insensitive in nature.
