Abstract
Multipath TCP is a recent TCP extension that enables the usage of multiple networks for a single connection. Since September 2017, Apple has enabled Multipath TCP on iOS11 for all applications. The main dedicated use case of multipath usage resides in network resiliency. We evaluate how the "interactive" mode of Multipath TCP behaves under user mobility scenarios using bidirectional constant bit rate traffic. Our results show that the passage from WiFi to cellular is not abrupt, justifying the usage of multiple paths. However, there is still some room for improvement for Multipath TCP in such cases.
