Abstract

See full text

There is provided method and devices for handling multi path routing of data packets. The method comprises the step S1 of establishing a multi path connection with a target network node, the multi path connection comprising a plurality of paths over which data packets can be transmitted to the target network node. The method also comprises the step S2 of obtaining information relating to the quality of the plurality of paths and the step S3 of determining, based on the obtained information, whether a path in the plurality of paths has been disconnected or is about to be disconnected. The method also comprises the step S4 of activating at least one substitution path if it is determined that a path in the plurality of paths have been disconnected or is about to be disconnected, to enable transmission of data packets intended to be transmitted on the disconnected path, or the path about to be disconnected, over the activated substitution path. Corresponding devices and computer programs enabling handling of multi path connections are also provided.
