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 tcp-mss-clamp still matters

SysAdmin1138 Explains

I work from home, so the existence of internet is critical to me getting paid, and neither cell phone has good enough service to hotspot reliably. Looking at the packet trace of the behind the router case saw the TCP handshake finish, but TLS handshake fail after the initial hello. Thus, having two ISPs. What the actual f**k.
