Oct 29 2018 How hard can it be? Adding Multipath TCP to the upstream kernel Mat Martineau, Matthieu Baerts, Christoph Paasch and Peter Krystad Multipath TCP is a recent TCP extension that allows devices like today's smartphones or laptops to send and receive data over multiple interfaces for better resource utilization, throughput, and reaction to failures and handover. While interest is growing in this new TCP extension, this protocol is not supported by the upstream Linux kernel. A community project is underway to add Multipath TCP to the upstream Linux kernel but is facing some different challenges: from the protocol itself, to creating a design that does not adversely affect TCP or networking structures, to extending networking code without expensive indirection + Read more
