Abstract: Multipath transmission in ICN provides high transmission efficiency and stability. In an IP-ICN compatible network environment, unmodified IP terminal devices can access ICN through gateways, benefiting from these performance enhancements. This paper proposes a gateway framework for hybrid IP-ICN multipath transmission systems, enabling protocol conversion and quality of service management. A packet reordering module is integrated at the egress gateway to address complex packet disorder issues caused by ICN multipath transmission, thereby enhancing the service quality provided to IP terminals. A Reordering Buffer Management Method (RBMM) is introduced, consisting of two key components. First, RBMM employs an improved dynamic threshold scheme for reserved buffer partitioning, efficiently identifying congestion and optimizing buffer resource utilization. Second, a flow-priority-based replacement strategy is designed to enhance fairness in resource allocation by evicting packets with lower delivery probability during congestion. Experimental results demonstrate that RBMM dynamically adapts to varying traffic conditions, maintaining high transmission performance while reducing buffer resource consumption. In comparison to existing methods, RBMM significantly reduces queuing delay and flow completion time, providing more balanced resource allocation when multiple flows compete for limited buffer capacity.
