Design and Implementation of a Network Based on Multipath TCP of Local Production

In the developed research we present a local production network designed and implemented with Multipath TCP, to improve reliability through redundant links. In particular, the MultiPath protocol was evaluated, which improved the performance and increased the solidity against possible faults in one of the routes. MutiPath TCP conventional and MultiPath TCP were implemented with integration of name-based sockets. The capture procedure and the analysis fields were: data flow, bit rate, protocol type, source IP address, destination IP address, sent bytes, received bytes, start time, source port and destination port. The Argus software was used to monitor network traffic on the server and the client. The implementation of the MultiPath server was performed on the Ubuntu 15.04 Linux platform, and the Wireshark tool to capture protocol data units. For the implementation of conventional MultiPath TCP an average transfer rate of 54.86Mbps was obtained and when it was integrated into the MultiPath TCP communication with name-based socket integration, an average transfer rate of 60.89Mbps was obtained, so optimization for the second case is around 10%. It has been proven that the production network works correctly and with better performance.
