Subject: [multipathtcp] 答复: Possible future items for mptcp WG

Dear chair and all,

The scheduling algorithm plays an important role for the performance of MPTCP and has an impact to its deployment, and it is an important part in the code base.  But it has not been well documented in IETF.  Although most scheduling algorithms do not require protocol extension, it is useful to document some of them into experimental or informational categories.

draft-zuo-mptcp-scheduler/ draft-zuo-mptcp-degradation / draft-song-mptcp-owl have discussed such problem, and I am glad to share more of our experience in future.

Best regards,
Jiao

主题: [multipathtcp] Possible future items for mptcp WG

Hello everyone,

Phil and I have been discussing the next step for the WG.
After we finish 6824bis, we ｗon't have active WG items as the proxy work will be discussed at tcpm WG.
One suggestion might be to close the WG or to put it in dormant state, however, we are thinking there still might be some more working items as we've seen interesting presentations for new ideas, experiment results and so on at the meetings and on the ML.

Below is the list of potential working items from the chairs' point of view.
Please let us know if you think some of them are important items for the WG (and your willingness to contribute if possible) or there are some more items, or this is not something we should work on, etc.

Also, if you have some opinions on the status of the WG or suggestions to the chairs, please let us hear!

We appreciate your feedback

Thanks,
--
Yoshi & Phil

        proposed by Markus, also Kien presented a similar idea

    b) fast subflow setup
        proposed by Quentin

    c) security enhancement
        1) TLS
            draft-bonaventure-mptcp-tls-00
            draft-paasch-mptcp-tls-authentication-00

        2) Utilize proposals from tcpinc?

        3) Elliptic Curve Cryptography
            draft-kim-mptcp-semptcp-00

    d) Solutions for operational issues
         1) how to handle nat64 issue proposed by Quentin
         2) how to handle load balancer proposed by Fabien, Christoph, Costin

3: Congestion Control (This topic itself should probably be discussed at ICCRG. But, it may trigger some updates of the protocol or APIs later)
     a) OLIA
          draft-khalili-mptcp-congestion-control-05

     b) mptcp + BBR?
          presented by Jing
