Abstract
The present invention describes various techniques which may be used for determining multi-path latency in data networks which utilize a multi-homed transport protocols. Using the technique of the present invention, for example, appropriate source and destination addresses may be selected for specific IP datagrams in order to achieve an optimal communication path between endpoints which utilize a multi-homed transport protocol.
