A Statistic Procedure to Find Formulae for Buffer Size in MPTCP

摘要

It has been shown that the Multi-Path Transmission Control Protocol (MPTCP) can improve throughput, robustness and resilience of network transport. This paper seeks to discover the relationship of buffer size with throughput and congestion control algorithms, based on the statistical predictive modelling method. In spite of rapid growth of the implementations of MPTCP, the theoretical and fundamental question - how large the buffer size of MPTCP should be to meet the network traffic remains unaddressed, although there were graphic illustrations and descriptive discussions about it.
