Abstract
A method and a system for traffic load balancing between a multipath-capable receiver within an administrative domain and a multipath-capable sender outside of the administrative domain, performed by at least one processor. The method includes identifying available access networks receiving media streams, accepting steering rules from the administrative domain, incrementing a counter that measures the amount of media streams arriving on the available access networks during a measurement interval, adjusting a delay value based on a timer value, the total amount of media arriving on the access networks, and the steering rules. The timer value may be set to the measurement interval and the measurement interval may be provided in the steering rules. Then, the method includes the multipath-capable sender sending acknowledgments which are delayed according to the adjusted delay value.
