On the Internet many different paths exist between each
source and destination. When single path routing is used
these paths can be under utilized, not used fairly or not
used at all. One way to overcome this is to allow multipath
routing. But when multiple paths are used TCP congestion
control can be negatively affected and cause poor
goodput performance due to the reordering of packets. We
proposeMATCP (Multipath Aware TCP) which makes modifications
to TCP that allows it to monitor and select which
path it takes through the network for each flow. MATCP
is compared to single path routing and is validated using
extensive simulation. MATCP is found to greatly improve
fairness between flows while providing equal or better utilization
of links than single best path networks.
