	abstract = {Internet applications that route data over default Internet paths can often increase performance by sending their traffic over alternative {\textquotedblleft}detour{\textquotedblright} paths. Previous work has shown that applications can use detour routing to improve end-to-end metrics such as latency and path availability. However, the potential of detour routing has yet to be applied where it may be most important: improving TCP throughput. In this paper, we study the feasibility of bandwidth detouring on the Internet. We find that bandwidth detours are prevalent: between 152 Planetlab nodes, 74.8\% of the paths can benefit from detours with at least 1 Mbps and 20\% improvement. To understand how to exploit bandwidth detours in practice, we explore the trade-offs between networkand transport-level mechanisms for detouring. We show, both analytically and experimentally, that direct, TCP-based detour routing improves TCP throughput more than encapsulated, IP-based tunneling, although the latter provides a more natural interface.},
