Multi-source Multipath HTTP (mHTTP) enables users to establish simultaneous connections with multiple servers to fetch a single content. mHTTP is designed to combine the advantage obtained from distributed network infrastructures provided by CDNs with the advantage of multiple interfaces at end-users. Unlike existing proposals: a) mHTTP is a purely receiver-oriented mechanism that requires no modification either at the server or at the network, b) the modifications are restricted to the socket interface; hence, no changes are needed to the applications or to the kernel, and c) it takes advantage of multiple types of path diversity in the Internet.
