Abstract
Techniques for routing data via lower layer paths through lower layers of a protocol stack are described. A lower layer path may be composed of a flow for packets, a link at a link layer, and a channel at a physical layer. A packet may be received from an application. A most preferred lower layer path for the packet may be selected from among at least one available lower layer path. The available lower layer path(s) may be arranged in an order of preference based on treatment of packets (e.g., best effort or QoS), protocols used at the link layer, channel types at the physical layer, and/or other factors. The packet may be sent via the selected lower layer path. A highest precedence lower layer path for the packet may be set up (e.g., in parallel) if this path is not among the at least one available lower layer path.
