Abstract :
Link aggregation bundles multiple physical links on a single virtual link, enabling very high-speed and large-capacity data communications. It also enables redundant communications. Several link aggregation methods have been proposed. These methods utilize transport layer link aggregation. In this paper, a new application level link aggregation is proposed and implemented on Android OS, which is one of the popular OSs for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs. The proposed application level link aggregation method is verified with use of an implemented terminal.
