This leads to the desire for simultaneously utilising all available access paths to improve application data throughput. This is commonly known as Concurrent Multipath Transfer~(CMT), approaches for several Transport Layer protocols have been proposed. Combined with Resource Pooling~(RP), CMT can also fairly coexist with concurrent non-CMT flows. Current approaches focus on symmetric paths (i.e.\ similar bandwidth, delay and error rate). However, asymmetric paths are much more likely -- particularly for realistic Internet setups -- and efficient CMT usage on such paths is therefore crucial. In this paper, we first show the challenges of plain as well as RP-aware CMT data transport over asymmetric paths. After that, we introduce mechanisms for efficient transport over such paths. Finally, we analyse the performance of our approaches by using simulations.}", url = "https://www.wiwi.uni-due.de/fileadmin/fileupload/I-TDR/SCTP/Paper/Globecom2010.pdf", url.size = "1060498", url.md5 = "96629a6c95f6882e9fdd54acdee2de5d", url.mime = "application/pdf", url.pagesize = "595.276 x 841.89 pts (A4)", url.checked = "2014-04-02 17:08:23 CEST" }
