1. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
support, by a hybrid access device, establishment of a first transport layer subflow for a transport layer flow of a multipath connection;
determine, by the hybrid access device based on the first transport layer subflow, an application indication of traffic of the transport layer flow;
detect, by the hybrid access device, a request for establishment of a second transport layer subflow for the transport layer flow of the multipath connection; and
determine, by the hybrid access device based on the application indication, whether to establish the second transport layer subflow for the transport layer flow of the multipath connection.
