Abstract
Embodiments of apparatuses and methods for traffic prediction and bandwidth aggregation are described. In various embodiments, an apparatus may include a first network interface and a second network interface with support of a multipath transport protocol. The apparatus may further include a control module to determine whether to aggregate bandwidth of the first and second network interfaces under a same transport layer connection, using the multipath transport protocol, based at least in part on a traffic prediction of the first network interface. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Claims23
An apparatus for computer networking, comprising:
- a first and a second network interface with support of a multipath transport protocol;
- and
- a control module, coupled to the first and second network interfaces, to determine whether to aggregate bandwidth of the first and second network interfaces under a same transport layer connection, using the multipath transport protocol, based at least in part on a traffic prediction of the first network interface.
A method for computer networking, comprising:
- measuring, by a computing device, a measurement for networking over a first network interface;
- determining, by the computing device, whether to aggregate bandwidth for the first network interface and a second network interface, based at least in part on a traffic prediction from the measurement;
- and
- on a determination to aggregate the bandwidths, aggregating, by the computing device, bandwidths from the first and second network interfaces using a multipath transport protocol under a same transport layer connection.

At least one non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising:
- a plurality of instructions configured to cause an apparatus, in response to execution of the instructions by the apparatus, to:
- measure a networking measurement over a first network interface;
- determine whether to aggregate bandwidth from a second network interface based at least in part on a traffic prediction from the measurement;
- and
- aggregate bandwidth from the second network interface to the first network interface using a multipath transport protocol under a same transport layer connection.
