Abstract
A method performed by a multi-path transmission control protocol (MPTCP) controller of a MPTCP capable device. The method includes receiving, from outside of the device, information signals comprising MPTCP usage information. The method also includes sending control signals to an MPTCP scheduler of the device for controlling the scheduler. The control signals are based on the received usage information. Devices for performing the method are also described.
