METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING A MULTIPATH COMMUNICATION WITH MAXIMIZED AVAILABILITY

A method for establishing a communication through multiple distinct communication paths deployed over different network operators is proposed, comprising the steps collecting of location information of network nodes of several available distinct paths between a source node and a destination node, comparing location information of the network nodes to identify possibly co-located network nodes, determining of path segment lengths of consecutive path segments between the nodes of each path, estimating whether path segments of the paths intersect based on the locations of the network nodes and the path segment lengths, selecting of multiple paths that do not comprise intersecting path segments and/or co-located network nodes, and establish a communication between the source node and the destination node over both selected paths.
