It is acceptable to briefly use multipath data to provide seamless connectivity for time-sensitive user-facing operations when the system default network is temporarily unresponsive. The amount of data should be limited (less than one megabyte for every call to this method), and the operation should be infrequent to ensure that data usage is limited. An example of such an operation might be a time-sensitive foreground activity, such as a voice command, that the user is performing while walking out of range of a Wi-Fi network.

Reliability 2

It is acceptable to use small amounts of multipath data on an ongoing basis to provide a backup channel for traffic that is primarily going over another network. An example might be maintaining backup connections to peers or servers for the purpose of fast fallback if the default network is temporarily unresponsive or disconnects. The traffic on backup paths should be negligible compared to the traffic on the main path.
