Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is a promising transport protocol that allows a multihomed device to simultaneously use multiple network interfaces to send application data over multiple paths.However, although applying MPTCP to data delivery introduces many and attractive benefits, the MPTCP is vulnerable to network attacks. When a path within the MPTCP connection suffers from some types of attacks (eg, a denial-of-service attack) and becomes underperforming, it will undoubtedly cause transmission interruption in the stable paths and thus degrade the application-level performance. Unfortunately, the MPTCP path management mechanism is very simple and cannot timely prevent the usage of underperforming paths in multipath transmission.In this paper, we introduce a new "potentially underperforming" (PU) concept to MPTCP and propose a novel PU-aware path usage management mechanism ((PU) 2 M 2 ) for MPTCP aiming to (1) detect and declare an underperforming path and prevent the usage of underperforming paths in multipath transmission, (2) provide a finite-state-machine model to change per-path's state accordingly and effectively manage multiple paths for data transmission, and (3) alleviate the packet reordering problem and make MPTCP avoid throughput performance degradation during network underperforming. We demonstrate the benefits of applying (PU) 2 M 2 to MPTCP. KEYWORDS multipath TCP, network attacks, path management, secure multipathing services 1 INTRODUCTION Recently, wireless access technologies such as IEEE 802.11 WiFi standards and 3G/4G cellular networks have undergone a period of dramatic development. These significant technological achievements provide a mobile user with ubiquitous Internet connectivity. 1,2 In the meantime, boosted by the technological innovation and newest progress of wireless access technologies, modern mobile devices (ie, Personal Digital Assistants and Smart phones) are equipped with multinetwork interfaces and enabled heterogeneous multiaccess capabilities (eg, the Apple iOS-based iPhone and iPad products enable "multipath transfer" feature, which combines WiFi and cellular interfaces to optimize network connection 3,4 ). Such smart multihomed devices can increase their goodput performance and quality of service (QoS) by making use of multiple paths concurrently in a heterogeneous network condition, supported by the Multipath TCP (MPTCP). 5The MPTCP is a TCP extension that enables a multihomed device to exploit multiple network interfaces for simultaneously scheduling the application data over multiple independent end-to-end available paths. 6 Figure 1 illustrates how a MPTCP-based terminal uses 2 different paths (A and B) simultaneously to communicate with an MPTCP-based application server. Such multipath transmission and bandwidth aggregation features is beneficial to system for goodput improvement, robustness enhancement, and other attractive benefits. Moreover, MPTCP preserves the regular socket APIs that are utilized by today's Internet applications. The multihomed devices can establish C...

An adaptive retransmission‐based multipath transmission mechanism for conversational video

Conversational video service is characterized by high bandwidth demand and low delay requirement. Bandwidth and transmission schemes play an important role in providing high-quality delivery service for point-to-point conversational video service. Multipath transmission is regarded as an effective way to aggregate bandwidth. Transmission schemes need to ensure the strict time relation between information entities and to alleviate the negative impact of packet loss on video quality. To achieve this, existing transmission schemes may incur either a large delay or a large amount of duplicated packets that are not suitable for conversational video service. In this paper, we propose an adaptive retransmission mechanism-based multipath transmission (MT-AR) for conversational video service delivery. MT-AR takes advantage of historical reception experience to timely detect packet loss with a certain degree of misjudgement. Receiver requests sender to retransmit the lost packet if the lost packet benefits the decoding. Adaptive playout speed adjustment and alternative path retransmission cooperatively optimize the performance of retransmission. Receiver slightly extends playout speed to reserve time for retransmission and accelerates playout speed to alleviate negative impact of cumulative extension. Multiple paths support to conduct retransmission on an optimal path selected from alternative paths to avoid continuous congestion or error on the original path. Finally, we conduct extensive tests to evaluate the performance of MT-AR. Experimental results show that MT-AR can effectively improve the quality of experience of conversational video service by retransmission.

[5][6][7] Recently, Wu et al 8 outlined two major challenges that affect real-time video streaming from a single sender (server) to a multihomed mobile device: bandwidth efficiency and end-to-end delay.

Telehealth psychological services is a time‐efficient and cost‐effective therapy solution for persons in rural areas. The high congestion resulting from these infrastructure issues, which includes low‐bandwidth wireless connections and channels prone to data loss, tends to increase video delays, thereby making real‐time video transmission during telehealth psychological services challenging. The purpose of this study is, hence, to enable the successful implementation of telehealth psychological services in rural areas by minimising end‐to‐end video transmission delay and improving bandwidth efficiency. Our proposed system uses a distortion‐aware TCP‐friendly adaptive congestion control algorithm that adapts the congestion window size according to path characteristics and quality. Indeed, evaluation results show that our algorithm—as compared to a reference—significantly improves peak signal‐to‐noise ratio and end‐to‐end delay; thus, suggesting that the adoption of an adaptive congestion window size in our system can improve network bandwidth efficiency and reduce information delay resulting from packet queuing and unnecessary packet loss. The outcome is successful high‐definition video transmission during telehealth psychological services.
