Method, system, and program product for enhancing network communications between endpoints

Abstract

The present invention provides a method, system and program product for enhancing communications between endpoints. Specifically, the present invention provides mechanisms (e.g., routing controllers either at a network or application layer) that negotiate and specify which network interface to use at each endpoint (both sending and receiving) in multi-homing interface environments. This approach allows the application traffic to be routed through these two specified network interfaces for the better end-to-end QoS. This network interfaces used can also be dynamic changed (e.g., in real-time) to adapt to changing conditions of the network links.
