A technique for enabling connection-oriented multipath transmission is disclosed. A computing unit (110) for executing a multipath application (102) enabling connection-oriented multipath transmission between a client application (106) and a server (108) comprises at least one processor and at least one memory, wherein the at least one memory contains instructions executable by the at least one processor such that the multipath application (102) is operable to receive a packet from the client application (106), the packet being destined for the server (108) and associated with a connection established between the client application (106) and the server (108) using a connection-oriented transport protocol, select an interface from a plurality of interfaces of the computing unit (110) for transmission of the packet to a multipath proxy (104) for delivery to the server (108), and transmit the packet to the multipath proxy (104) via the selected interface.

A communication method and system for converging a 5.sup.th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT) is provided. The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services.

A communication subsystem, method and computer program product preconfigure a size of a transport control protocol (TCP) buffer when connected to a master node using a first radio access technology (RAT) that supports during dual connectivity with a secondary node using a second RAT. A timer is started when the secondary node is available but not being used at least in part for data transfer. Until the timer expires, the TCP buffer is maintained in a size to efficiently provide both (i) support for data transfer using the first RAT via the master node only; and (ii) expedited setup of data transfer using at least the secondary node using the second RAT. When the timer expires without connecting to the secondary node, the controller reduces the size of the TCP buffer to release storage resources that are not needed for data transfer via only the master node.

Various embodiments provide methods, vehicle computing devices, storage media, and systems for unicast transmission of cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) Internet Protocol (IP) packets. Various embodiments may enable upper layers in a stack architecture to realize unicast transmission of C-V2X IP packets. In various embodiments, source port and destination IP address pairings may be associated with destination layer 2 (L2) addresses. In various embodiments, a source port indication and destination IP address indication may be added to a unicast C-V2X IP packet, such as a transmission control protocol (TCP) packet, a user datagram protocol (UDP) packet, etc., and the source port and destination IP address indications may be used by a modem to determine the destination L2 address for the unicast C-V2X IP packet.

An electronic device connects to another electronic device using a communication link, such as a Wi-Fi link as provided by a Wi-Fi access point. The electronic device includes a transport monitoring module that monitors outgoing communications (e.g., Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) packets) from the electronic device. When the other electronic device disconnects from the Wi-Fi access point, the transport monitoring module determines that a transport anomaly has occurred. In response to determining that the transport anomaly has occurred, a probe module of the electronic device sends a probe (e.g., an Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) dead peer detection probe) to determine whether the other electronic device is reachable.
