Abstract:
Techniques for electronic devices to control a multipath transmission control protocol (MPTCP) connection. An MPTCP connection between two endpoints may be established. The MPTCP connection may include at least one MPTCP subflow. At least one of the endpoints may be configured to act as a master with respect to the MPTCP connection. The master may perform one or more control operations on the MPTCP connection, while if one of the endpoints is not a master, that endpoint may not perform control operations on the MPTCP connection. The control operations may include initiating or establishing new MPTCP subflows or modifying a priority level of one or more MPTCP subflows of the MPTCP connection.

Claim (Index 20):
The non-transitory computer accessible memory medium of  claim 15 ,\n wherein the program instructions are further executable to cause the electronic device to: receive an indication from the remote endpoint that the remote endpoint is also configured to act as master with respect to the MPTCP connection; receive a transmission from the remote endpoint via a particular second subflow of the one or more second MPTCP subflows; and at least in part in response to receiving the indication and receiving the transmission from the remote endpoint via the particular second subflow, promote the particular second subflow to be the active subflow and demote the first MPTCP subflow to be one of the backup subflows.
