Abstract

The adoption process of a new Internet protocol or only a change to an existing one is anything but trivial. The classical diffusion theory does not apply as such for studying protocol adoption because the deployment of a protocol usually requires the involvement of multiple stakeholders with varying interests. Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is a new interesting change to the TCP/IP protocol suite which is an extension to regular TCP. MPTCP exploits the idea of resource pooling principle by splitting the data of a single TCP connection across multiple paths in the Internet. The research introduced in this paper aims to identify and evaluate the incentives of different stakeholders to adopt MPTCP. This paper summarizes the proceedings in MPTCP research from the socio-economic point of view and the plans how MPTCP adoption could be studied further. Also, the main problematics of the research are discussed in the paper.

HotNets-XII: Proceedings of the Twelfth ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Networks

Multipath TCP (MPTCP) allows the concurrent use of multiple paths between two end points, and as such holds great promise for improving application performance. However, in this paper, we report a newly discovered class of attacks on MPTCP that may ...

AINTEC '19: Proceedings of the 15th Asian Internet Engineering Conference

Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is a backward compatible extension of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) designed to let an application send data over several TCP connections, usually called subflows. MPTCP presents several opportunities over legacy TCP, ...
Forward Delay-based Packet Scheduling Algorithm for Multipath TCP

Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is a transport layer protocol that allows network devices to transfer data over multiple concurrent paths, and hence, utilizes the network resources more effectively than does the traditional single-path TCP. However, as a reliable ...
