Bandwidth aggregation techniques in heterogeneous multi-homed devices: A survey

The widespread deployment of various networking technologies, coupled with the exponential increase in end-user data demand, have led to the proliferation of multi-homed, or multi-interface enabled, devices. These trends drove researchers to investigate a wide spectrum of solutions, at different layers of the protocol stack, that utilize available interfaces in such devices by aggregating their bandwidth. In this survey paper, we provide an overview and examine the evolution of bandwidth aggregation solutions over time. We begin by describing the bandwidth aggregation problem. We then investigate the common features of proposed bandwidth aggregation systems and break them down into two major categories: layer-dependent and layer-independent features. Afterwards, we discuss the evolution trends in the literature and discuss some open challenges requiring further research. We end the survey with a brief presentation of related work in tangential research areas.

“…Bandwidth aggregation across multiple channels has been considered in the literature in varying contexts and for scenarios and applications distinct from those considered in this paper. For instance, multi-link PPP [10], [11] is designed to aggregate multiple logical data channels into one. Since PPP was intended to operate at the data link layer, below the IP level [12], [13], [14], the multi-link PPP extension bundles multiple data-link level channels into a single logical link.…”

Abstract-Data striping across multiple network interfaces and its applications to mobile environments was recently investigated in [1]. Therein, a network-layer IP-in-IP encapsulation mechanism was proposed to aggregate the bandwidth of multiple network paths by striping a single transport layer (TCP) connection across them. The analysis and experimental results from that study demonstrated fundamental limitations to TCP's performance in such scenarios. In this paper we therefore propose a method of overcoming these limitations by striping data at the transport layer. For a proof-of-concept demonstration we use a substantially enhanced version of the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). Our analytical results and experimental data illustrate that there are significant advantages to using a transport protocol with native support for the simultaneous use of multiple network interfaces, as opposed to stretching TCP to a point where it is no longer effective.This work naturally leads to the more fundamental issue of end-to-end support for host mobility at the transport layer. Our analysis and results demonstrate that transport layer support for multiple network (IP) interfaces, together with the capability to dynamically add or delete IP addresses can yield the following advantages: higher bandwidth, load balancing and increased fairness, enhanced reliability, and end-to-end support for host mobility. This is independent of the underlying network layer and hence is applicable to static/wired as well as wireless/ad hoc environments. The proposed protocol offers a unified solution to both data striping across multiple networks interfaces as well as end-to-end mobility support.
