Lei Weimin, Yang Yang · 2012
With development of web application, humans have much more requirement on network Quality of Service (QoS). This paper proposes an path selection decision-making model used in application layer for Multipath Transmission (MPT) to overcome the challenge which QoS of network layer will be corrupted in multiple paths transmission mechanism. P2FT method is proposed in this paper. That module can decide path selections according to characteristics of application layer. We dynamically provide data that should transmits in each path. Further, due to characteristics of multiple paths transmission, the model macroscopically regulates the application layer to choice more appropriate path real time. In performance evaluation part, we obtain transmission time by calculating in this simulation. The simulation results from the graphs illustrate that our proposed model decrease 61.627% of transmission time and achieve 1.0000 probability of successful transmission respectively compared with traditional bearer network. The path to cooperate with each other, to achieve network resources optimization, high efficiency, high speed transmission, and make the transmission have QoS guarantee.
