Because of the lack of Multipath TCP (MPTCP) support at the server
side, some service providers now consider a network-assisted model
that relies upon the activation of a dedicated function called MPTCP
Conversion Point (MCP). Network-Assisted MPTCP deployment models are
designed to facilitate the adoption of MPTCP for the establishment of
multi-path communications without making any assumption about the
support of MPTCP by the communicating peers. MCPs located in the
network are responsible for establishing multi-path communications on
behalf of endpoints, thereby taking advantage of MPTCP capabilities to
achieve different goals that include (but are not limited to)
optimization of resource usage (e.g., bandwidth aggregation), of
resiliency (e.g., primary/backup communication paths), and traffic
offload management. This document specifies extensions for Network-
Assisted MPTCP deployment models.
