An MPTCP Option for Network-Assisted MPTCP Deployments: Plain Transport Mode
Résumé
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.
