Summary:Mobile nodes of the future will be equiped with multiple network
interfaces to take advantage of overlay networks, yet no current
mobility systems provide full support for the simultaneous use of
multiple interfaces. The need for such support arises when multiple
connectivity options are available with different cost, coverage,
latency and bandwidth characteristics, and applications want their data
to flow over the interface that best matches the characteristics of the
data. We present an architecture called transport layer mobility that
allows mobile nodes to not only change their point of attachment to the
Internet, but also to control which network interfaces are used for the
different kinds of data leaving from and arriving at the mobile node. We
implement our transport layer mobility scheme using a split connection
proxy architecture and a new technique called TCP splice that gives
split connection proxy systems the same end to-end semantics as normal
TCP connections
