DBAS: A Deployable Bandwidth Aggregation System
Karim Habak, Moustafa Youssef, Khaled A. Harras

TL;DR
DBAS is a deployable bandwidth aggregation system for multi-interface devices that significantly improves throughput without requiring hardware modifications or OS changes, demonstrating ease of deployment and substantial performance gains.
Contribution
We introduce DBAS, a fully deployable bandwidth aggregation system that operates on standard Windows OS without hardware or software modifications.
Findings
Achieves up to 193% throughput increase over current systems.
Operates as a standard Windows executable without modifications.
Demonstrates high deployability and ease of use.
Abstract
The explosive increase in data demand coupled with the rapid deployment of various wireless access technologies have led to the increase of number of multi-homed or multi-interface enabled devices. Fully exploiting these interfaces has motivated researchers to propose numerous solutions that aggregate their available bandwidths to increase overall throughput and satisfy the end-user's growing data demand. These solutions, however, have faced a steep deployment barrier that we attempt to overcome in this paper. We propose a Deployable Bandwidth Aggregation System (DBAS) for multi-interface enabled devices. Our system does not introduce any intermediate hardware, modify current operating systems, modify socket implementations, nor require changes to current applications or legacy servers. The DBAS architecture is designed to automatically estimate the characteristics of applications and…
