Abstract:
Multipath TCP relies on the existence of multiple paths at the end-
systems typically provided through different IP addresses obtained by
different ISPs. While this scenario is certainly becoming
increasingly a reality (e.g. mobile devices), currently most end-
systems are single-homed (e.g. desktop PCs in an enterprise). It
seems also likely that a lot of network sites will insist on having
all traffic pass a single network element (e.g. for security
reasons) before traffic is split across multiple paths. This memo
therefore describes mechanisms to make multiple paths available to
multipath TCP-capable end-systems that are not available directly at
the end-systems but somewhere within the network.
