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

CloudFaire

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. It's a major extension to the TCP protocol, and historically most of the TCP changes failed to gain traction. There is another way.

CCNA: TCP SEQ and Port Number

The Network DNA

CCNA: TCP Sequence & Port Number This article can be read as the second part of the previous article CCNA: 3-Way Handshake where we discussed what makes TCP a reliable protocol for transmitting information. Lets discuss the TCP SEQ and Port numbers in this article. TCP breaks this information into two pieces CC and NA.
