PREMIUM stands for Private REactive MultIpath commUnication Middleware

PREMIUM provides a mechanism to split network traffic among multiple paths, and is able to react in near real-time to hijacking attacks. The solution uses two components: MACHETE and Darshana. The first is a multipath communication component that splits data, with Multipath TCP (MPTCP), among multiple physical paths on top of an overlay network, using when possible multiple Internet Service Providers (ISPs) through multihoming. The second is a route hijacking monitor, that uses a combination of detection mechanisms to alert the user that its data traffic is likely being intercepted. The end client uses this reactive middleware so that hijack alerts can trigger path changes, to protect the communication.

Here you can find instructions for the demos:
