Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for improving network packet transmission performance in terms of latency with reduced packet retransmission times and fewer packet drops in congested networks are provided. Packet-switched networks can experience long delays while waiting for out-of-order packets or re-transmissions of lost packets. In addition, network faults such as transmission path failures can result in excessive delay while attempting to find a new route over which to transmit packets. To improve packet transmission performance, application data may be encapsulated into first network packets by a first transport protocol having an interface exposed to the application, in the first network packets may be encapsulated into second network packets according to a second transport protocol. The second transport protocol can enable the second network packets of a same packet flow to be transmitted across multiple paths over the network.
