The Internet is designed to provide multiple paths between two endpoints. Attempts to exploit multi-path opportunities are almost as old as the Internet, culminating in RFCs documenting some of the challenges. As a result, Internet devices usually use a single path and let the routers handle the path selection. Uses only Wi-Fi.
