Abstract [en]

As mobile cloud usage has become more and more prevalent, with more people depending on the cloud for both their work and their leisure, cloud-to-end-user latency have risen to become a key issue. One oft-forgotten way to cost effectively improve the quality of experience is to simultaneously make use of the several network interfaces, e.g., WiFi and 3G/4G interfaces, available on most of todays mobile devices including smartphones and tablets; that is, to employ multihoming. This paper provides an initial evaluation of the latency characteristics of the multipath extensions to TCP, Multipath TCP (MPTCP), that are currently being standardized by IETF. In particular, the paper considers the possible reductions in latency that could be obtained by using MPTCP and multiple network paths between a cloud service and a mobile end user. Traffic from three cloud applications are studied, Netflix, Google Maps, and Google Docs, representing typical high-, mid-, and low- intensity cloud-to-end-user traffic. The result suggests that significant latency reductions are indeed possible, however, primarily for high- intensity video traffic such as Netflix.
