Abstract

Mechanisms for providing multi-homing, comprising: a memory device; and at least one hardware processor coupled to the memory device and configured to: intercept a connection between a device and a server using a proxy; establish a first connection between the device and the proxy; create multiple second connections between the proxy and the server, wherein at least two of the multiple second connections use different connection types; receive a request for blocks of data from the device using the first connection; allocate the blocks of data across the multiple second connections; request the blocks of data from the server using the multiple second connections as allocated; receive the blocks of data from the server using the multiple second connections; and forward the blocks of data to the device using the first connection.
