Abstract
In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method, comprising exchanging connectivity information, setting up a connection, determining that a correspondent node has at least one access in an inactive state, and transmitting a request to the correspondent node to activate at least one of the at least one access in an inactive state. The setting up may be done based on the exchanged connectivity information.

1-21. (canceled)
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory, the at least one memory comprising instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
- receive, from a node over a connection, information on a plurality of accesses comprised in the node, the plurality of accesses comprising at least one access that is inactive with respect to at least transmission and/or reception;
- transmit, to the node over the connection, a request to activate the at least one access;
- receive, from the node, address information on the at least one access;
- and
- communicate, in response to receiving the address information, with the at least one access over one or more separate paths on the connection, the connection modified to add the one or more separate paths.

A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a first node and from a second node over a connection, information on a plurality of accesses comprised in the second node, the plurality of accesses comprising at least one access that is inactive with respect to at least transmission and/or reception;
- transmitting, by the first node and to the second node over the connection, a request to activate the at least one access;
- receiving, at the first node and from the second node, address information on the at least one access;
- and
- communicating, by the first node and in response to receiving the address information, with the at least one access over one or more separate paths on the connection, the connection modified to add the one or more separate paths.

- activate, in response to the request, the at least one access;
- transmit, to the node, address information on the at least one access;
- and
- add, to the connection, one or more separate paths to the at least one access activated responsive to the request.
