Communication between two Internet hosts using parallel connections may result in unwanted interference between the connections. In this dissertation, we propose a senderside solution to address this problem by letting the congestion controllers of the different connections collaborate, correctly taking congestion control logic into account. Real-life experiments and simulations show that our solution works for a wide variety of congestion control mechanisms, provides great flexibility when
