CMT-SCTP and MPTCP Multipath Transport Protocols: A Comprehensive Review

A huge amount of generated data is regularly exploding into the network by users through smartphones, laptops, tablets, self-configured Internet-of-things (IoT) devices, and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication. In such a situation, satisfying critical quality-of-service (QoS) requirements (e.g., throughput, latency, bandwidth, reliability) large challenge as vast travels network. Nowadays, strict QoS must be satisfied efficiently in many networked multimedia applications when intelligent multi-homed devices are used. Such support concept multi-homing. To precise, they have multiple interfaces that aim to connect communicate concurrently with different networking technologies. Therefore, multipath transport protocols provided which (1) take advantage several paths at layer (Layer-4) (2) meet for providing low higher rates, increased reliability. this end, survey first presents challenges/problems supporting transmission possible solutions. Then, it reviews recent research efforts related concurrent (CMT) protocol control (MPTCP). It latest considering how operates (i.e., its functionality); what type network; (3) path characteristics should consider; (4) addresses various design challenges. Furthermore, some lessons learned discusses open issues protocols.
