APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TRANSFERRING DATA USING MULTIPATH TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROTOCOL

摘要

A method for transmitting data between a first device and a second device using a Multipath Transmission Control Protocol (MPTCP) connection is disclosed. The method comprises receiving data to be transmitted in use, comprising a set of data units from the first device, and extracting priority-related information for the data units from the received data. . In addition, the method includes processing the priority-related information to assign each of the data units to one of a plurality of subflows of the MPTCP connection, and using the allocated subflows through the MPTCP connection. and transmitting the data units in use to the second device.
