A Network Layer Approach to Enable TCP over Multiple Interfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mobile Internet is set to become ubiquitous with the deployment of various wireless technologies. When heterogeneous wireless networks overlap in coverage, a mobile terminal can potentially use multiple wireless interfaces simultaneously. In this paper, we motivate the advantages of simultaneous use of multiple interfaces and present a network layer architecture that supports diverse multiaccess services. Our main focus is on one such service provided by the architecture: Bandwidth Aggregation (BAG), specifically for TCP

Evaluating Multipath TCP Resilience against Link Failures
Standard TCP is the de facto reliable transfer protocol for the Internet. It is designed to establish a reliable connection using only a single network interface. However, standard TCP with single interfacing performs poorly due to intermittent node connectivity. This requires the re-establishment of connections as the IP addresses change. Multi-path TCP (MPTCP) has emerged to utilize multiple ...
متن کاملMSOCKS: An Architecture for Transport Layer Mobility
Abstrucr-Mobile nodes of the future will be equiped with multiple network interfaces to take advantage of overlay networks, yet no current mobility systems provide full support for the simultaneous use of multiple interfaces. The need for such support arises when multiple connectivity options are available with different cost, coverage, latency and bandwidth characteristics, and applications wa...
متن کاملEvaluation of Middleware for Bandwidth Aggregation using Multiple Interface in Wireless Communication
Although a variety of wireless interfaces are available on mobile devices, they still provide only low throughput so far. When coverage areas of those different technologies overlap, mobile devices with multiple interfaces can use them simultaneously by mechanism of Bandwidth Aggregation. However, there are some performance problems for Bandwidth Aggregation on Network Layer and lower Layer whi...
متن کاملPerformance-Cost Trade-Off Strategic Evaluation of Multipath TCP Communications
Today’s mobile terminals have several access network interfaces. New protocols have been proposed during the last few years to enable the concurrent use of multiple access paths for data transmission. In practice, the use of different access technologies is subject to different interconnection costs, and mobile users have preferences on interfaces jointly depending on performance and cost facto...
متن کاملMultipath IP Transmission: Motivation, Design, and Performance
Most end devices are now equipped with multiple network interfaces. Applications can exploit all available interfaces and benefit from multipath transmission. Recently Multipath TCP (MPTCP) was proposed to implement multipath transmission at the transport layer and has attracted lots of attentions from academia and industry. However, MPTCP only supports TCP based applications and traffic rate a...
