Network-assisted MPTCP deployment models are designed to facilitate the adoption of MPTCP for the establishment of multi-path communications without making any assumption about the support of MPTCP by the communicating peers. MCPs located in the network are responsible for establishing multi-path communications on behalf of endpoints, thereby taking advantage of MPTCP capabilities to achieve different goals that include~(but are not limited to) optimization of resource usage~(e.g., bandwidth aggregation), of resiliency~(e.g., primary/backup communication paths), and traffic offload management. This document specifies a new Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service~(RADIUS) attributes that carry the IP addresses that will be returned to authorized users to reach one or multiple MCPs.}", url = "https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-boucadair-mptcp-radius-05.txt", url.size = "22810", url.md5 = "c7d724d697499426d61daceb9dfe5af5", url.mime = "text/plain", url.checked = "2020-12-03 11:19:39 CET" }
