1. A packet communications network that transports a plurality of client traffic over a plurality of server transport paths from a source to a destination, the network comprising:

  • using a load distribution method to distribute each instance of client traffic to an individual transport path, thereby avoiding reordering at the destination;

    enabling all the transport paths to carry the client traffic and protect each other;

    allowing the network to provision a preferred client traffic distribution through a policy setting; and

    redistributing the client traffic when a condition on one of the transport paths changes.
