An MPTCP Option for Network-Assisted MPTCP Deployments: Plain Transport Mode
2016
Because of the lack of Multipath TCP (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 the encapsulation of packets and out-of-band signaling
between the CPE and the MPTCP concentrator. Also, this document
specifies how UDP traffic, in particular, can be distributed among
available paths by leveraging MPTCP capabilities.
