Multipath TCP

Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is an advanced version of standard internet protocol that allows a device to send and receive data over multiple network connections simultaneously. For example, a smartphone can use both Wi-Fi and mobile data at the same time. This increases reliability, as if one connection drops, the other continues functioning smoothly. It also improves speed by combining bandwidth from different sources. MPTCP intelligently manages these multiple paths, ensuring seamless data transfer without user intervention. Overall, it enhances the stability, reliability, and performance of internet connections for devices supporting it.
