Abstract: A plurality of SYN packets is sent from a first system, each of the plurality of SYN packets traverses a different path in a first set of paths between the first system and a second system in a multipath data communication network and includes a unique source identifier. From a plurality of SYN-ACK packets, a SYN-ACK packet is selected that is first to arrive at the first system. Each SYN-ACK packet includes a unique source identifier of a selected SYN packet. A path is configured corresponding to the selected SYN packet, as an outbound path from the first system. A path corresponding to the selected SYN-ACK packet is configured as an inbound path to the first system. A session between the first and the second systems is established using the outbound and inbound paths.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for improving printability of a design of an integrated circuit (IC) using pitch-aware coloring for multi-patterning lithography (MPL) are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A first shape is identified in a layout of the IC corresponding to the design as being apart by a first distance from a second shape. The first distance is a forbidden distance and at least equal to a minimum distance requirement of a lithography system. A determination is made that the first shape and the second shape are colored using a first color. The first shape is changed to a second color, such that even though the first distance is at least equal to the minimum distance requirement of the lithography system, the first and the second shapes are placed on different masks to print the design, thereby improving the printability of the design.
