With the development of Internet applications,users' demand for bandwidth is soaring sharply.Meanwhile,along with the development of broadband access technology,the endpoint can also adopt multiple network accesses.But due to one-way communication of traditional Transmission Control Protocol(TCP),the waste of resources will exist.To this end,IETF has specifically proposed Multi-Path TCP(MPTCP) to implement TCP multiplexing,thereby enhancing the efficiency and robustness.This paper gives a review of the IETF's research on MPTCP,including MPTCP architecture,routing and congestion control,aiming to provide a reference for deeply studying.
