This paper presents the MPT-GRE software, a novel multipath communication technology founded on the Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) protocol in UDP tunneling RFC specification. It enables the creation of a GRE protocolbased UDP tunnel built on several communication channels. On the other hand, MPTCP is one of the most typical representatives among multipath communication technologies, basing its operation on the utilization of TCP subflows. The authors compare the path-aggregation capabilities of these two technologies using four Fast Ethernet channels. The tests were carried out with the iperf3 network bandwidth measurement tool, and while transferring data using the FTP protocol over both IPv4 and IPv6.
