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

CloudFaire

The Internet is designed to provide multiple paths between two endpoints. Attempts to exploit multi-path opportunities are almost as old as the Internet, culminating in RFCs documenting some of the challenges. As a result, Internet devices usually use a single path and let the routers handle the path selection.

Why latency is the new outage

Kentik

Routers and switches : The internet is largely a mesh configuration of network devices that provide connectivity to everywhere we want to connect. Packet loss in TCP connections results in retransmissions which can introduce significant latency. Below is the beginning of a TCP handshake. Router hops introduce the most.
