A Multi-Parameter Comprehensive Optimized Algorithm for MPTCP Networks

The transmission performance of a multi-path transmission control protocol (MPTCP) is affected by many parameters, such as path management, congestion control, buffer size, and subflow bandwidth. Most of the previous studies have focused almost exclusively on the improvement of a single parameter, w...

description The transmission performance of a multi-path transmission control protocol (MPTCP) is affected by many parameters, such as path management, congestion control, buffer size, and subflow bandwidth. Most of the previous studies have focused almost exclusively on the improvement of a single parameter, without a holistic view. In this paper, a multi-parameter comprehensive optimized algorithm (MPCOA) is proposed to comprehensively optimize the above parameters. The MPCOA algorithm can find a smaller buffer size and select an appropriate congestion control and path management algorithm on the premise of ensuring better throughput. Experiments in three scenarios show that MPCOA can save buffer space and subflow resources, and achieve a high throughput. Meanwhile, a set of quantitative improvement results given by MPCOA is convenient for us to evaluate the quality of the MPTCP network and provide reference for our ongoing future work.
