TCP Extensions for Multipath Operation with Multiple Addresses

摘要: TCP/IP communication is currently restricted to a single path per connection, yet multiple paths often exist between peers. The simultaneous use of these for 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 ability simultaneously use This document presents set of extensions traditional support multipath operation. The protocol offers same type service applications as (i.e., reliable bytestream), it components necessary to establish flows across potentially disjoint paths. defines an Experimental Protocol Internet community.
