Multipath TCP on Linux mobile devices
Improve mobile support for MPTCP and add cost-aware path control
Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is a standardised technology extending TCP and invented in Europe. TCP is one of the key protocols of the TCP/IP protocol stack, designed in the 1970s when hosts were attached to the network through a single cable. Today's hosts have several network interfaces, but TCP only uses one of them for a given connection. Multipath TCP solves this problem by enabling TCP connections to exchange packets over different network interfaces. This is very interesting in mobility use-cases, for devices with both Wi-Fi and cellular. This grant will focus on improving MPTCP support on Linux mobile phones and tablets.
