Multipath TCP : Design objectives

• Multipath TCP is an evolution of TCP

• Design objectives– Support unmodified applications– Work over today’s networks (IPv4 and IPv6)– Works in all networks where regular TCP works

• Multipath TCP has brought innovation in the ossified Internet transport layer– Our open-source implementation played key role

• Confirmed to IETF that the design was correct

• Enabled commercial deployment– Smartphones with Apple, LG, Samsung, …

– Link bonding with Tessares, OVH, Line Factory, Watchy, …

• Ongoing research with network protocols– IPv6 Segment Routing

– Fibbing
