APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSFERRING DATA USING MULTIPATH TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROTOCOL

摘要

Disclosed is a method for transmitting data between a first device and a second device by using a multipath transmission control protocol (MPTCP) connection. The method includes the processes of: receiving the data which is currently in use, is to be transmitted, and includes a set of data units from the first device; and extracting priority-related information regarding the data units from the received data. Also, the method includes the processes of: processing the priority-related information in order to allocate each data unit to one of multiple sub-flows in the MPTCP connection; and using the sub-flows allocated with the data units to transmit the data units being in use to the second device through the MPTCP connection.
