Multipath TCP Scheduling for Thin Streams: Active Probing and One-Way Delay-Awareness

Don't Repeat Yourself: Seamless Execution and Analysis of Extensive Network Experiments

“…In the following, we discuss our MACI experiences. We greatly benefited from MACI during the development and evaluation in recent research projects on Multipath TCP scheduling [11,12,10,33], DASH video streaming [31], topology graph pattern matching algorithms [28], and the supervision of student theses. We further reproduced the results of a notable Multipath TCP experimental design study [22].…”

“…We used MACI for the development of five novel Multipath TCP (MPTCP) schedulers. While the MPTCP specific details and evaluations are published in [12,10], we discuss the contribution of MACI on the design of one exemplary scheduler in the following.…”

“…We discuss the benefits of MACI based on our experience with three research projects: i) an extensive DASH video streaming study [31], ii) the development of various Multipath TCP packet schedulers [12,10], and iii) the tuning of a distributed topology graph pattern matching protocol [28].…”

Failure-Aware and Delay-Predicted Multipath Virtual Queue Scheduling for Multimedia Transmission in Edge IoT

“…Pokhrel and Choi [23] focused on the multipath transmission in high packet-loss rate and time-varying wireless networks and used the load balancing and forward error correction (FEC) to solve the out-of-order problem. e authors of [24] identified the limitations of MPTCP schedulers for thin streams and presented a MPTCP scheduling algorithm which can actively probe unused subflows and timely update the one-way delay information.…”

“…Update W i according to equation ( 22) (9) if packet loss occurs in subflow i then (10) Get new swnd i ; (11) Update φ i with the feedback of Algorithm 1 (12) Update W i according to equation ( 22) (13) for each i ∈ R do (14) Calculate T i according to equation ( 23) (15) Find the subflow i with minimum T (16) if q i < swnd i then (17) if undistributed segments <swnd i − q i then (18) Allocate all undistributed segment to VQ i (19) else (20) Allocate swnd i − q i segments to VQ i (21) Update q i (22) else (23) if undistributed segments <swnd i then (24) Allocate all undistributed segment to VQ i (25) else (26) Allocate swnd i segments to VQ i (27) Update q i e network parameters were firstly fixed by setting the receiver buffer as 128 kB and WiMAX loss rate as 0.1.…”
