Multi-Path TCP: revolutionizing connectivity, one path at a time

CloudFaire

As a result, Internet devices usually use a single path and let the routers handle the path selection. Enter Multi-Path TCP (MPTCP), which exploits the presence of multiple interfaces on a device, such as a mobile phone that has both Wi-Fi and cellular antennas, to achieve multi-path connectivity. There is another way.

The link may be almost full, but there may be no TCP retransmits, and the latency may be good. If you run hybrid Cloud, and you’re running at least some of your own infrastructure, then again switches, routers, BGP tables, but to get that sort of augmented information, it can come from the host agent. Absolutely, it is.
