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 7):
The electronic device of  claim 6 ,\n wherein the processing element and the one or more network interfaces are further configured 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; and wherein promoting the particular second subflow to be the active subflow and demoting the first MPTCP subflow to be one of the backup subflows is performed further based at least in part on receiving the indication.
