Abstract
A method for using multiple communication paths in a satellite network is disclosed. The method including: initiating a connection request from a first peer to a second peer; providing communication paths between the first peer and the second peer; retrieving a policy corresponding to the communication paths, the first peer and the second peer; receiving a transport metric for at least one of the communication paths; selecting a path from the communication paths based on a connection metric, the transport metric and the policy; and establishing a connection between the first peer and the second peer with the path, wherein at least one of the communication paths is relayed by a satellite.
