Because of the lack of MPTCP support at the server side, some service providers now consider a network-assisted model that relies upon the activation of a dedicated function called MPTCP Concentrator. This document focuses on a deployment scheme where the identity of the MPTCP Concentrator(s) is explicitly configured on connected hosts. This document specifies an MPTCP option that is used to avoid an encapsulation scheme between the CPE and the MPTCP Concentrator. Also, this document specifies how UDP traffic can be distributed among available paths without requiring any encapsulation scheme.}, }
