Title : MPTCP Application Interface Considerations
Author(s) : Michael Scharf

Filename : draft-ietf-mptcp-api-04.txt

Multipath TCP (MPTCP) adds the capability of using multiple paths to
a regular TCP session. Even though it is designed to be totally
backward compatible to applications, the data transport differs
compared to regular TCP, and there are several additional degrees of
freedom that applications may wish to exploit. This document
summarizes the impact that MPTCP may have on applications, such as
changes in performance. Furthermore, it discusses compatibility
issues of MPTCP in combination with non-MPTCP-aware applications.
Finally, the document describes a basic application interface for
MPTCP-aware applications that provides access to multipath address
information and a level of control equivalent to regular TCP.
