Abstract
Methods and apparatus for transparent multipath utilization through encapsulation are disclosed. Respective encapsulation packets are generated for at least two different baseline packets transmitted between a source and destination linked by multiple network paths. Each encapsulation packet comprises contents of a corresponding baseline packet, and one or more data values selected in accordance with a path balancing policy. The data values added to one encapsulation packet may differ from those added to another. Different network paths to the destination may be selected for different encapsulation packets of a given transmission based at least in part on the added data values.
