OmTCP: Increasing Performance in Server Farms

Normal TCP/IP operation is for the routing system
to select a best path that remains stable for some time, and for
TCP to adjust to the properties of this path to optimize
throughput. By executing TCP’s congestion control algorithms
on multiple paths at the same time, a multipath TCP can shift its
traffic to a less congested path, thus maximizing both the
throughput for the multipath TCP user and leaving more
capacity available for other traffic on more congested paths.
And when a path fails, this can be detected and worked around
by multipath TCP much more quickly than by waiting for the
routing system to repair the failure.
This paper proposes a one-ended multipath TCP that is
implemented on the sending host only, without requiring
modifications on the receiving host, for the purposes of
maximizing performance in transmissions from multiply
connected large servers towards singly connected end-users and
recovering from failures more quickly.
