Abstract
An apparatus for improving data transfer speed by using Multipath Transport Control Protocol (MPTCP) and Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) combination, wherein the apparatus comprises a user interface module called Application Management System (AMS) module (100) to receive user inputs for managing transport protocol (MPTCP or conventional TCP/UDP/SCTP) usage selection. The apparatus also includes a Selection, Inspection Control (SIC) middleware module (101) which STARTs and STOPs the corresponding MPTCP module or conventional TCP/UDP/SCTP module based on the user inputs received from AMS. The MPTCP module splits the data traffic into multiple TCP subflows and sends the subflows via wired network interface (104), wherein each network interface is connected to one MIMO systems (107) for achieving efficient data transfer.
