Introduction
Today, most smartphones support at least 3G and 802.11, and so do tablet PCs like Apple’s iPad. This has increased interest in using several access mediums in the same connection, so that it becomes possible to transparently change from one medium to another in case of failure. Further, using several paths simultaneously can improve endto- end throughput.
