Abstract: With the evolving of the network technologies,there has been a growing interest in the end-to-end multipath transfer.This paper investigates the optimal flow control based multiple end-to-end paths and proposes a distributed algorithm to optimally allocate the network resource.The algorithm achieves efficient bandwidth allocation by taking the path diversity into consideration.The algorithm proposed is shown to be asymptotically global stable in the absence of the propagation delay.The simulations demonstrate the rapid convergence and practicality of the algorithm.
