Georgeta Boanea Melinda Barabas, Virgil Dobrotă · 2011
The increased number of applications with strict demands regarding throughput and delay (e.g. video streaming, VoIP, video conferencing) determines the need for more efficient routing procedures in the Internet. Multipath routing is one solution that can assure a more reliable and robust transmission. This approach provides flexible load balancing and congestion avoidance by offering multiple alternative paths to a destination. This paper presents an overview of the design details of today's multipath routing solutions, with their advantages and disadvantages.
