Abstract--Traditional network routing algorithms send data
from the source to destination along a single path. The selected
path may experience congestion due to other traffic, thereby
reducing throughput. Multi-path routing divides the data along
multiple paths, with the aim of increasing overall throughput.
Due to the different latencies of using multiple paths, packets
are received out-of-order at the destination, and thus require
reordering. This problem can be overcome by placing a buffer
at the destination node in order to synchronize the incoming
