Abstract
Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is an extension to TCP which allows hosts to establish connections consisting of multiple TCP “subflows” that travel across different Internet paths. MPTCP it is based on the assumption that at least one communicating host is multi-homed. Meanwhile, the Internet contains considerable path diversity, and research has shown that routes chosen by the Internet’s routing infrastructure are not always the most efficient. Although mechanisms have been proposed which are designed to take advantage of detour routing, none can be applied to unmodified applications. In this thesis, we leverage MPTCP to allow unmodified applications on single-homed devices to use detour routes. We find that this mechanism is capable of significant bandwidth aggregation under appropriate network conditions.
