Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide an address management apparatus, system, and method for communication over the Multipath Transmission Control Protocol (MTCP). A processing module allocates a corresponding internet protocol (IP) address to each MPTCP session, where the MPTCP session is an MPTCP session between a first host and a second host, the first host is the host supporting MPTCP, and the second host is the host not supporting MPTCP, and when the MPTCP session is terminated, the processing module releases the corresponding IP address allocated to the MPTCP session. A transceiver module sets up the MPTCP session according to the IP address.
