An overview of Multipath TCP

Mon, 10/29/2012 - 18:34 by Olivier Bonaventure

Abstract

TCP has remained mostly unchanged for 20 years, even as its uses and the net- works on which it runs have evolved. Multipath TCP is an evolution of TCP that allows it to run over multiple paths transparently to applications. In this article, we explain how Multipath TCP works, and why you should want to start using it.
