Description:

The MPT network layer multipath communication library is capable of using multiple communication channels by creating an UDP tunnel over them. The contemporary version of MPT uses the GRE tunnel protocol. MPTCP is another multipath solution, which uses TCP subflows on kernel level to ensure multipath communication. In this paper, we are using multiple container technologies to install these multipath communication solutions. Most common Docker container and a HPC specific Singularity container interconnected with twelve 100Mbit/s links were used to evaluate the aggregation capabilities of the combination of these technologies.
