Abstract
Techniques for transferring data between a host system and a remote system over a network are disclosed. A large command with associated data to be transmitted is divided into segments. Each segment is encapsulated in a network transport unit that includes a corresponding segment identifier for the segment. The network transport units for the segments are then submitted for transmission between the host system and the remote system using multiple network paths. A system receiving the network transport units for the segments reassembles the command with associated data based on the corresponding segment identifiers in the network transport units.
