A device can be simultaneously connected to multiple networks, e.g.,
Wi-Fi, LTE, 5G, and DSL. It is desirable to seamlessly combine the
connectivity over these networks below the transport layer (L4) to
improve the quality of experience for applications that do not have
built-in multi-path capabilities. Such optimization requires
additional control information, e.g., a sequence number, in each
packet. This document presents a new lightweight and flexible
encapsulation protocol for this need. The solution has been developed
by the authors based on their experiences in multiple standards
bodies including the IETF and 3GPP. However, this document is not an
Internet Standard and does not represent the consensus opinion of the
IETF. This document will enable other developers to build
interoperable implementations in order to experiment with the
protocol.


EXPERIMENTAL: This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the
Internet community.  It does not specify an Internet standard of any
kind. Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested.
Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
