Abstract

We use one-way communication delay of a TCP connection to design an MPTCP scheduler that transmits data out-of-order over multiple paths such that their arrival is in-order. Our Linux implementation shows our proposed scheduler can reduce receive buffer utilization, and increase overall throughput when a small receive buffer size results in receive buffer blocking.
