Abstract
According to an embodiment a method is disclosed for establishing a Multipath TCP connection comprising a first and second TCP connection between a client and a server. The client performs the steps of: sending a synchronization segment to the server indicative for a request to establish the first and second TCP connection, receiving a synchronization and acknowledgement segment from the server, establishing the first and second TCP connections, sending an acknowledgment segment to the server in order for the server to establish the first and second TCP connection.

A method for establishing a Multipath TCP connection between a client networking node and a server networking node;
- wherein the Multipath TCP connection comprises a first and one or more auxiliary TCP connections;
- the method comprising the following steps performed by the client networking node:
- sending a synchronization segment to the server indicative for a request to establish the first and the one or more auxiliary TCP connections;
- subsequently receiving a synchronization and acknowledgement segment from the server;
- subsequently establishing the first and the one or more auxiliary TCP connections;
- sending an acknowledgment segment to the server in order for the server to establish the first and one or more auxiliary TCP connections.

- the method comprising the following steps performed by the server networking node:
- receiving a synchronization segment from the client indicative for a request to establish the first and the one or more auxiliary TCP connections;
- retrieving first addressing information for the first TCP connection from the synchronization segment;
- obtaining second addressing information for the one or more auxiliary TCP connections;
- sending a synchronization and acknowledgement segment to the client in order for the client to establish the first and the one or more auxiliary TCP connections;
- receiving an acknowledgment segment from the client;
- subsequently establishing the first and the one or more auxiliary TCP connections based on the first and second addressing information.
