Abstract
An example method for performance enhancement in a heterogeneous network environment with multipath transport protocols is provided and includes receiving packets according to Transmission Control Protocol (TCP packets) and packets according to multipath TCP (MPTCP packets) in a network environment, determining that TCP packets are experiencing congestion in comparison to the MPTCP packets, and delaying acknowledgement packets (MPTCP ACK packets) corresponding to the MPTCP packets for a pre-determined time interval. In a specific embodiment, a local MPTCP proxy intercepts the TCP packets and forwards underlying data of the TCP packets according to MPTCP.
