The Multiple Backhaul Mobile Access Router (MAR) can provide high capacity and high performance Internet access for emerging mobile wireless applications. In this paper we improve the MAR with the capability to stripe traffic from clients over multiple available network devices. The MAR allows different backhauls to be used simultaneously and accommodates diverse policies.We present experimental results to validate the per user striping performance of our MAR and explore trade-offs when integrating switching policies. With the above enhancements, the MAR is able to provide aggregated communication channels to the users, and enhance reliability by switching wireless interfaces when it is necessary.
