Abstract
MP-TCP (Multipath-Transmission Control Protocol) has the potential to greatly improve application performance by employing several routes. Multipath TCP was intended to be a backwards-compatible alternative to TCP. Accordingly, it exposes the normal socket API to applications that can’t manage how the different routes are used. This is a crucial attribute for various functions that are uninformed of the multipath behavior of the network. This, in contrast, is a restriction on application that may advantage from particular information in order to employ numerous paths in a way that best suits their requirements. As a result, hosts are frequently associated by several paths, yet TCP only allows for one path per transport connection. If these many paths could be used simultaneously, network resource use would be more efficient. This should improve the user experience by improving network stability and increasing throughput. Hence, this paper proposed modified MP-TCP which permits a particular data flow to be divides into several paths. This has key advantages in terms of reliability and connection may continue even if one of the paths fails. The Proposed work has been implemented in NS 2 with MPTCP protocol modification.
