Abstract
Example methods are provided to influence path selection during a multipath connection between a first endpoint and a second endpoint. The method may comprise configuring, for a first subflow of a multipath connection, a first set of tuples and establishing, over a network interface of the first endpoint, the first subflow with the second endpoint. The method may further comprise configuring, for a second subflow of the multipath connection, a second set of tuples based a path selection algorithm learned by the first endpoint; and establishing the second subflow with the second endpoint. The method may further comprise sending first packets having the first set of tuples on the first subflow and second packets having the second set of tuples on the second subflow to the second endpoint via an intermediate device that uses the path selection algorithm.
