Mobile data usage is increasing and mobile network operators are looking to move some of this traffic onto Wi-Fi networks. MPTCP and the 0-RTT TCP Convert protocol can help these operators by enabling a convergence of cellular and Wi-Fi networks. We first present these two protocols, then discuss possible deployments and finally show some measurements from a smartphone.
