Abstract

A method for providing a multipath scheduler may include causing generation of a lookup table of action rules defining actions corresponding to respective different states in which each of the states is a weighted description of performance measures associated with a data interface, and enabling utilization of the lookup table at a predefined periodicity during communication in a multipath communication environment to identify a selected data interface among a plurality of available data interfaces based on current performance measures associated with the plurality of available data interfaces. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.
