Abstract
Techniques are provided for a network mapping server device in a network to receive a connection upgrade message comprising information to establish a first data flow from a first endpoint that does not support multiple subflows for the first data flow according to a multipath protocol, where multiple subflows subdivide the first data flow across two or more network paths. The information in the connection upgrade message is analyzed in order to resolve network connectivity to determine potential network connections for at least two subflows of the first data flow to a second endpoint. A response message is sent comprising information configured to establish at least two subflows for the first data flow between the first endpoint and the second endpoint.
