Abstract
Multipath transport, as embodied in MPTCP, is deployed to improve throughput and reliability in mobile and residential access networks, with additional use-cases including spreading load in data centers and WANs. However, MPTCP is fundamentally tied to TCP Reno's legacy AIMD algorithm, and significantly lags behind the performance of modern single-path designs. Consequently, MPTCP fails to achieve high performance in many real-world environments.
