Abstract :
We first explain problems with the default scheduler used by the Linux kernel MPTCP implementation. Then we propose the design of a new scheduler. Preliminary empirical results show that our proposed scheduler improves the throughput in MPTCP by alleviating the problems caused by the default scheduler.
