Abstract

The term multipath routing means using multiple paths concurrently to transport data over network. The main problem of this routing scheme is the difference among the delays of selected paths, which causes reordering of a single flow's packets. In this paper, this problem is analyzed through a sociological perspective. We show that reordering problem is not inherently related to multipath routing, rather caused by the dominant capitalist view of the problem. then, the problem is addressed through a Marxism perspective. We theoretically prove that by this perspective, there exists a routing scheme that minimizes latency and also the requirement of buffering at receiver.
