Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is one of the leading transport layer protocols that enables multipath transmission to improve network performance. However, MPTCP can experience throughput degradation due to link congestion, which causes underutilizing of the network capacity. We proposed a new link congestion detection based on Software-Defined Networking (SDN) for MPTCP that detects and detours link congestion to achieve a stable MPTCP performance. Measurement results show that the proposed scheme enables efficient packet transmission by minimizing the effect of link congestion. Moreover, a combination of the proposed scheme and SDN monitoring enables dynamic traffic control based on the proposed link congestion detection.
