Abstract
Methods and apparatus for monitoring network links are disclosed. In one implementation, a client device composes a plurality of data packets and transmits the data packets via a network to a server via two or more ports of the client device. The data packets are transmitted via multiple paths across the network. After transmitting the data packets to the server, the client device composes and transmits a control packet to the server, where the control packet indicates a total number of the data packets that have been transmitted by the client device to the server.
