Abstract

Multipath Transmission Control Protocol has turned into an intriguing matter in today’s protocol stack. With the development of rising technologies, it is the most noteworthy expansion of Transmission Control Protocol. A cell phone normally supports both a 2G/3G/4G connectivity and a wireless connectivity. Limitation of Transmission Control Protocol particularly in a mobile environment is that it does not handle mobility very well. Multipath Transmission Control Protocol resolves the shortcomings of Transmission Control Protocol. It allows multihoming simultaneously. Here multiple network links act as a single link and a single stream of data is divided into subflows across multiple networking paths. This has clear advantages for reliability and it can prompt more productive utilization of networking resources. But Multipath Transmission Control Protocol is far away from being a flawless protocol. The significant issues are the congestion control and the reordering of the packet at the destination. Congestion control and packet reordering in this protocol have been very complex so far but if it’s not considered, it can radically influence the throughput for the protocol. Therefore, in this work, we will find various problems for congestion control and packet reordering techniques in Multipath Transmission Control Protocol and also, we will discuss possible solutions for these problems.
