Abstract
The emergence of Multipath TCP (MPTCP) technology offers an opportunity for network operators to leverage on fixed and mobile access networks to enhance user's Internet experience. The question is how MPTCP could have impacted web browsing quality of experience (QoE). This paper covers an experimental evaluation to analyze the QoE performance of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) traffic over MPTCP which emulated in a controlled lab environment. Our analysis focuses on measuring HTTP performance metrics in a real-time simulated high network traffic load. The results conclude that MPTCP boosts HTTP transactions rates and throughput by 10% and 78% respectively. However, the impact of latency recedes 30% of the Web QoE over MPTCP.
