Abstract
A method and apparatus for addressing a message sent from a proxy node to a peer node in a communications network. The proxy node receives from a host node a plurality of multipath messages. Each message of the plurality of multipath messages has an address. The proxy node then applies a rule to assign an address for a single flow message towards the peer node. The single flow message comprises each message of the plurality of multipath messages. The single flow message is then sent towards the peer node.
