TLDR
The performance of multi-path TCP in the wild is explored using one commercial Internet service provider and three major cellular carriers in the US to answer the following questions: How much can a user benefit from using multi- path TCP over cellular and WiFi relative to using the either interface alone.Abstract:
With the popularity of mobile devices and the pervasive use of cellular technology, there is widespread interest in hybrid networks and on how to achieve robustness and good performance from them. As most smart phones and mobile devices are equipped with dual interfaces (WiFi and 3G/4G), a promising approach is through the use of multi-path TCP, which leverages path diversity to improve performance and provide robust data transfers. In this paper we explore the performance of multi-path TCP in the wild, focusing on simple 2-path multi-path TCP scenarios. We seek to answer the following questions: How much can a user benefit from using multi-path TCP over cellular and WiFi relative to using the either interface alone? What is the impact of flow size on average latency? What is the effect of the rate/route control algorithm on performance? We are especially interested in understanding how application level performance is affected when path characteristics (e.g., round trip times and loss rates) are diverse. We address these questions by conducting measurements using one commercial Internet service provider and three major cellular carriers in the US.read more

Experimental evaluation of multipath TCP schedulers
TL;DR: This paper designs and implements a generic modular scheduler framework and uses this framework to do an in-depth analysis of different schedulers for Multipath TCP, and considers bulk data transfer as well as application limited traffic and identify metrics to quantify the scheduler's performance.

Rate control for communication networks: shadow prices, proportional fairness and stability
TL;DR: This paper analyses the stability and fairness of two classes of rate control algorithm for communication networks, which provide natural generalisations to large-scale networks of simple additive increase/multiplicative decrease schemes, and are shown to be stable about a system optimum characterised by a proportional fairness criterion.

A close examination of performance and power characteristics of 4G LTE networks
TL;DR: This paper develops the first empirically derived comprehensive power model of a commercial LTE network with less than 6% error rate and state transitions matching the specifications, and identifies that the performance bottleneck for web-based applications lies less in the network, compared to the previous study in 3G.

TCP Extensions for Multipath Operation with Multiple Addresses
TL;DR: The protocol offers the same type of service to applications as TCP (i.e., reliable bytestream), and it provides the components necessary to establish and use multiple TCP flows across potentially disjoint paths.

Design, implementation and evaluation of congestion control for multipath TCP
TL;DR: It is shown that some 'obvious' solutions for multipath congestion control can be harmful, but that the proposed algorithm improves throughput and fairness compared to single-path TCP.
