Abstract
A method and apparatus for delivering content via adaptive streaming technique over multiple communication paths between a client and a server are described. The method includes measuring a first, and respectively a second, available bit rate on the first, and respectively second, path, determining a requested bit rate from the measured first and second available bit rates, sending a first request via the first path for receiving a first part of the chunk of content identified by the time index i and by the requested bit rate and a second request via the second path for receiving a second part of the chunk of content, the first and second chunks of content being complementary, the size of each of the chunks being computed from the available bit rate and receiving the requested first, and respectively second, part via the first, and respectively second, path.
