摘要: Multipath TCP (MP-TCP) has the potential to greatly improve application performance by using multiple paths transparently. We propose a fluid model for large class of MP-TCP algorithms and identify design criteria that guarantee existence, uniqueness, stability system equilibrium. clarify how algorithm parameters impact TCP-friendliness, responsiveness, window oscillation demonstrate an inevitable tradeoff among these properties. discuss implications properties on behavior existing motivate our Balia (balanced linked adaptation), which generalizes strikes good balance oscillation. have implemented in Linux kernel. use prototype compare new algorithms.
