Abstract

With the rapid development of mobile video technology and the increasing demand for online video applications, people have higher demands on the transmission performance and user experience of real-time Internet applications such as video. Multipath transmission is considered as an ideal solution to improve video transmission performance and user experience quality in wireless network environment. In recent years, the academic research on multipath transmission protocol focuses on data scheduling, energy consumption optimization, fairness, congestion control and so on, but the research on network security is insufficient, especially the research on the anti-damage analysis and robustness optimization of multipath transmission. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the latest research trends, this paper makes a beneficial exploration of the future development of end-to-end multipath transmission over the Internet based on Multipath TCP (MPTCP).

Keywords: multipath transmission; MPTCP; robustness; network security
