The mptcp-ns3 project focuses on developing implementation of Multipath TCP on ns-3 for research purposes. The project implement the entire transport layer in ns-3.

Multipath TCP is an extension to TCP which aims to use multiple paths to handle a communication between two endpoints. MPTCP is the IETF working group to standardize Multipath TCP.

Please check the following URL for more information about multipath TCP. http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/mptcp/charter/

The current implementation is really close to the MPTCP specification:

• MPTCP options: MPC (Multipath Capable), ADD and REMOVE address, JOIN, etc.
• Congestion Control: Fully Coupled, Uncoupled TCPs, Linked Increases, RTT Compensator.
• Packet Reordering: None, Eifel, DSACK and F-RTO algorithms

Follow the instructions in the wiki page https://github.com/dzlab/mptcp-ns3/blob/wiki/MakeIt.md to successfully run simulations.

Research projects using MPTCP NS-3 https://github.com/dzlab/mptcp-ns3/blob/wiki/Projects.md

Current version works for NS-3.6. It should be made compatible with newer NS-3 versions.
