Summary We describe middleware for controlling communication between link-aggregated mobile networks. This middleware connects two link-aggregated mobile networks by creating high-speed wireless links between the hosts in one network and those in the other. The low-speed wireless links of the hosts can then be shared, enabling high-speed data communication through the Internet. Communication between mobile networks through multiple routes is done by distributing or relaying data packets, resulting in a higher aggregate bandwidth. Testing using a prototype has shown that stable real-time streaming can be achieved by using this communication control middleware which takes into account the uplink and downlink bandwidths and the delay differences between all possible routes.
