In today's modern society, networking between client devices is playing an increasingly vital role in servicingx000D
our communication needs. Multi-path network protocols, wherein data from one client device may bex000D
broken-up into its constituent components, these components being individually transmitted over a multitude ofx000D
network pathways, and then reconstituted at the receiving client device, offer the promise of improvedx000D
performance and enhanced economy. In such a network protocol, network traffic would be routed acrossx000D
multiple access points and multiple networks simultaneously. Unfortunately, while the benefits of a multi-pathx000D
network protocol are widely recognized, the technical challenges that must be overcome for its implementationx000D
have hindered its widespread adoption thus far.x000D
JA2 Applications, which does business under the yodelME brand, is a Kelowna, British Columbia based firmx000D
that develops network solutions. They have recently developed a client application algorithm and associatedx000D
network configuration process that they assert will allow for multi-path networking on today's availablex000D
networks without the need for additional network infrastructure. yodelME would like to critically assess thex000D
robustness of their multi-path network protocol to variations in network conditions. They also wish to see ifx000D
further improvements in the networking technology can be acquired.x000D
Working in concert with the yodelMe development team and yodelME's CTO, Mr. Jeff Brown, we willx000D
perform detailed simulations of the network selection behaviour that will be achieved as a consequence of thisx000D
new proposed network protocol. We will also build a physical test lab comprised of the common physicalx000D
network interface modalities for mobile devices (i.e. wired via USB, cellular, WiFi, and Bluetooth). Thex000D
performance of yodelMe's network protocol will be experimentally examined and quantified in terms ofx000D
network selection predictability, stability, and reliability.
