POSTER: Revisiting Multipath QUIC Experiments and Comparing them with more recent Multipath TCP Implementations

摘要

Multipath QUIC is a promising protocol for future multipath communications. One early and often cited Multipath QUIC implementation has been presented by Quentin De Coninck and Olivier Bonaventure in 2017. Their implementation is based on quic-go and results are compared to Multipath TCP Version 0.91, showing performance benefits of Multipath QUIC in various scenarios. In this short paper, we reproduce their experiments and update Multipath TCP to Version 0.92 and later. More recent MPTCP implementations perform much better than Multipath TCP Version 0.91 and thus the performance gain compared to the mentioned Multipath QUIC implementation is not that significant anymore.
