Abstract:
One of the promising deployment scenarios for Multipath TCP (MPTCP)
is to enable a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) that is connected to
multiple networks (e.g., DSL, LTE, WLAN) to optimize the usage of its
network attachments. Because of the lack of MPTCP support at the
server side, some service providers now consider a network-assisted
model that relies upon the activation of a dedicated function called
MPTCP Concentrator. This document focuses on a deployment scheme
where the identity of the MPTCP Concentrator(s) is explicitly
configured on connected hosts.
This document specifies an MPTCP option that is used to avoid an
encapsulation scheme between the CPE and the MPTCP Concentrator.
Also, this document specifies how UDP traffic can be distributed
among available paths without requiring any encapsulation scheme.
