Abstract: Techniques are provided for a network mapping server device in a network to receive a connection upgrade message comprising information to establish a first data flow from a first endpoint that does not support multiple subflows for the first data flow according to a multipath protocol, where multiple subflows subdivide the first data flow across two or more network paths. The information in the connection upgrade message is analyzed in order to resolve network connectivity to determine potential network connections for at least two subflows of the first data flow to a second endpoint. A response message is sent comprising information configured to establish at least two subflows for the first data flow between the first endpoint and the second endpoint.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a first router associated with a first network node sends a first map lookup that includes a particular device identifier associated with a second network node to a mapping service that maintains a plurality of mappings that associate device identifiers with device locations. The first router receives, from a second router associated with the second network node, a map response that includes a particular device location that corresponds to the particular device identifier for the second network node. The first router establishes a secure session with the second router, and determines, based on the secure session, whether the second router is authorized to reply for the particular device identifier associated with the second network node.
