This may not be the good idea you'd think on first glance. If one of the paths has a slightly different RTT (and they're pretty much guaranteed to), you'll see out-of-order delivery at the receiver. I remember seeing some study that showed that TCP doesn't react too nicely under such conditions (it works, but not at peak performance).
