Abstract
This disclosure relates to techniques for electronic devices to identify application streams multiplexed onto a multipath transmission control protocol (MPTCP) connection using MPTCP signaling. According to one embodiment, an MPTCP connection may be established between an electronic device and a remote endpoint. Each of two or more application streams (each associated with a respective application) may be communicated between the two endpoints over the same MPTCP connection. MPTCP headers of MPTCP packets of each application stream may include application specific tags identifying the MPTCP packets of each application stream, respectively, as corresponding to their respective application stream.
