TECHNIQUES FOR ESTABLISHING A COMMUNICATION CONNECTION BETWEEN TWO NETWORK ENTITIES VIA DIFFERENT NETWORK FLOWS
First Claim
1. A method for establishing a communication connection between a first network entity and a second network entity via at least two different network flows, the method comprising:
- transmitting a first request, by the first network entity, directed to the second network entity via a first network flow;
transmitting at least one second request, by the first network entity, directed to the second network entity via at least one second network flow, wherein the at least one second request is transmitted by the first network entity before the first network entity receives a reply to the first request from the second network entity; and
establishing the communication connection between the first network entity and the second network entity based on at least one of the first request or the at least one second request.

Abstract
A method for establishing a communication connection between a first network entity and a second network entity via at least two different network flows includes: transmitting a first request, by the first network entity, directed to the second network entity via a first network flow; transmitting at least one second request, by the first network entity, directed to the second network entity via at least one second network flow, wherein the at least one second request is transmitted by the first network entity before the first network entity receives a reply to the first request from the second network entity; and establishing the communication connection between the first network entity and the second network entity based on at least one of the first request or the at least one second request.

14. A first network entity for establishing a communication connection to a second network entity via at least two different network flows, the first network entity comprising:
-
at least one network interface configured to transmit a first request via a first network flow and at least one second request via at least one second network flow directed to the second network entity and configured to receive a reply to the first request from the second network entity; and a processor configured to control the at least one network interface to transmit the at least one second request before receiving the reply to the first request from the second network entity and configured to establish the communication connection to the second network entity based on at least one of the first request or the at least one second request.

15. A second network entity for establishing a communication connection to a first network entity via at least two different network flows, the second network entity comprising:
-
at least one network interface configured to receive a first request via a first network flow and at least one second request via at least one second network flow from the first network entity and configured to transmit a reply to the first request and at least one reply to the at least one second request directed to the first network entity; and a processor configured to control the at least one network interface to transmit the reply to the first request responsive to receiving the first request and to transmit the at least one reply to the at least one second request responsive to receiving the at least one second request and configured to establish the communication connection to the first network entity based on at least one of the first request or the at least one second request.
