In this work we quantify the attainable benefit of a multihomed broadband access environment by proposing and evaluating several flow-based access sharing policies using a custom flow-based simulator. Our results show that in today's broadband Internet access scenarios, a significant reduction in download times (up to a factor of 3) is achievable %U http://www.net.t-labs.tu-berlin.de/papers/MWFV-PBFRME-09.pdf %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/ett.1392 %D 2009
