Abstract
The present disclosure is related to Multi-Access Management Services (MAMS), which is a programmable framework that provides mechanisms for the flexible selection of network paths in a multi-access (MX) communication environment, based on an application's needs. Generic Multi-Access (GMA) functions are also integrated into the MAMS framework. The present disclosure discusses keep-alive and probing mechanisms, and traffic splitting update techniques. Other implementations may be disclosed and/or claimed.

1-50. (canceled)
A first MX compute node capable of operating in a multi-access (MX) communication environment, the first MX compute node comprising:
- transmit, over a first radio access technology (RAT1) link, a traffic splitting update (TSU) message to notify a second MX compute node of updated traffic splitting configuration parameters;
- and
- receive, over a second radio access technology (RAT2) link, a traffic splitting acknowledgement (TSA) message from the second MX compute node based on the TSU message.
A non-transitory computer readable medium (NTCRM) comprising instructions for operating a first MX compute node in a multi-access (MX) communication environment, wherein execution of the instructions by one or more processors is to cause the first MX compute node to:
- receive, over a first radio access technology (RAT1) link, a traffic splitting update (TSU) message to notify a second MX compute node of updated traffic splitting configuration parameters;
- and
- transmit, over a second radio access technology (RAT2) link, a traffic splitting acknowledgement (TSA) message from the second MX compute node based on the TSU message.
