Patent attributes
A method for communication in an IP network is described. A first communicating device initializes a communication with a second communicating device, signaling to the second communicating device that the first communicating device is compatible with multi-path communications based on the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). If the second communicating device is also compatible with multi-path UDP communications, one of the first communicating device and the second communication device transmits data to the other device using the UDP transport protocol, including in the messages containing said data, regardless of the path used, a single identifier, known as the context identifier, allowing the other communicating device to correlate all of the UDP datagrams associated with the same multi-path UDP communication.
