Abstract
A method is disclosed for adaptively and intelligently partitioning traffic among a plurality of communications channels, without injecting probe traffic into any of the channels. In accordance with the illustrative embodiment, a source node transmits traffic to a receiving node via K communications channels in accordance with partition coefficients α, . . . , α, and the source node receives information regarding the quality of service (QoS) provided by each of the communications channels. The source node adjusts the values of the partition coefficients α, . . . , αadaptively based on: the current channel QoS information, prior channel QoS information, the prior values of α, . . . , α, and a measure of channel independence for one or more pairs of communications channels.
