MultiPath TCP (MPTCP) is an effort towards enabling the simultaneous use of several IP-addresses/interfaces by a modification of TCP that presents a regular TCP interface to applications, while in fact spreading data across several subflows. Benefits of this include better resource utilization, better throughput and smoother reaction to failures. Slides – explaining MultiPath TCP – are available in .pdf and .pptx format. You can also have a look at our Google Techtalk about MPTCP.
