	Abstract = {As society's dependence on network technology increases, the need for
resilience and survivability in these services becomes increasingly
apparent. Since the user experience is ultimately determined by the
dependability of the end-to-end service, we address this issue at the
transport layer. In this paper we introduce a resilient multipath selection
algorithm, which obtains multiple end-to-end paths in the WAN context
through cross-layer interaction with lower layers of the network.  This
cross-layer interface is provided by a thin internetwork protocol (PoMo)
which supports heterogeneity at trust and policy boundaries. The result is
a more resilient end-to-end service provided to applications by taking
advantage of redundancy in the underlying physical network. We evaluate the
efficiency tradeoffs of the multipath approach on both a synthetic topology
and a tier 1 ISP's backbone network topology.},
