RFC 6824 Multipath TCP
نویسنده
چکیده
TCP/IP communication is currently restricted to a single path per connection, yet multiple paths often exist between peers. The simultaneous use of these multiple paths for a TCP/IP session would improve resource usage within the network and, thus, improve user experience through higher throughput and improved resilience to network failure. Multipath TCP provides the ability to simultaneously use multiple paths between peers. This document presents a set of extensions to traditional TCP to support multipath operation. The protocol offers the same type of service to applications as TCP (i.e., reliable bytestream), and it provides the components necessary to establish and use multiple TCP flows across potentially disjoint paths.

Multipath-TCP in ns-3
In this paper we present our work on designing and implementing an ns-3 model for MultiPath TCP (MPTCP). Our MPTCP model closely follows MPTCP specifications, as described in RFC 6824, and supports TCP NewReno loss recovery on a per subflow basis. Subflow management is based on MPTCP’s kernel implementation. We briefly describe how we integrate our MPTCP model with ns-3 and present example simu...

متن کاملArchitectural Guidelines for Multipath TCP Development
Hosts are often connected by multiple paths, but TCP restricts communications to a single path per transport connection. Resource usage within the network would be more efficient were these multiple paths able to be used concurrently. This should enhance user experience through improved resilience to network failure and higher throughput. This document outlines architectural guidelines for the ...
