Due to prevalence of multiple interfaces on network devices and consumer electronics, the use of multiple paths for transporting Internet tra"c is getting more popular and feasible. This approach has many advantages, including: bandwidth aggregation, load balancing and network resilience. When packets of single flow TCP are scheduled through multiple routes with di↵erent path characteristics, packets maybe subjected to challenges which could prevent end-to-end successful transmission. Among these challenges, outof-order packet delivery is the main one. However, deploying transparent proxies along the path between TCP sender and TCP receiver could mitigate impact of out-of-order packet delivery. Splitter Combiner Architecture(SCA), a multiple paths TCP solution framework, provides principle and component specifications to build such transparent proxies. SCA, which was proposed by Telecommunication Networks Group(TKN) at Technische Universit¨at Berlin aims to distribute TCP segments of a single TCP connection over multiple paths and to combine these segments before they are delivered to the receiver host. Artificial Round Trip Time Increase algorithm (ARTI) was one of the proposed algorithms that fits into SCA framework. ARTI accumulates, processes and filters acknowledgment(ACKs) packets. Filtering normal ACKs from duplicate acknowledgment packets (DUPACKs), ARTI shields TCP sender from flood of excessive DUPACKs generated due to out-of-order packet delivery.
