A compatibility layer, in particular a shim layer, is configured to provide flexible choice of network protocols in a multi-path environment. The compatibility layer includes a first set of communication interfaces that is associated to a first communication link, a second set of communication interfaces that is associated to a second communication link, an access unit configured to get access to a library of network protocols, and a converting unit. The converting unit is configured to convert data packets received from a network entity via the first communication link and/or the second communication link to at least one of the network protocols; and/or the converting unit is configured to convert data packets received from a communication network via the first communication link and/or the second communication link to one standard network protocol.
