  Abstract

Mobile devices are equipped with multiple network interfaces to meet the increasing demand for high-speed mobile communication. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has proposed Multipath TCP (MPTCP) to simultaneously utilise multiple network interfaces. MPTCP should provide better performance using a single best-path TCP. However, many studies on MPTCP have revealed that under heterogeneous network conditions, the throughput performance of MPTCP is not as good as that of the single best-path TCP. MPTCP performance is constrained by different network characteristics such as the difference in end-to-end delays, path bandwidths, receiver buffer size, loss rate, and congestion. How to send packets on the basis of these parameters is the decision of the MPTCP scheduler. In this paper, we analyse the existing MPTCP schedulers, discuss their advantages and limitations, and propose recommendations for a better MPTCP scheduler design.
