Negotiating the Maximum Number of Multipath TCP (MPTCP) Subflows
Mohamed Boucadair, Christian Jacquenet · 2016
This document specifies an experimental Multipath TCP (MPTCP) option that is meant to negotiate the maximum number of subflows that can be established and maintained for a given MPTCP connection. The purpose is to minimize any possible performance degradation that can be induced by a possibly large number of establishment requests for additional subflows if the remote endpoint is not appropriately dimensioned to handle such requests.
