Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a data transmission control node, a system, and a data transmission management method. A TCP subflow on which data offloading needs to be performed is selected according to a requirement for running the system. By changing an input item of an MPTCP congestion control algorithm, data on the selected TCP subflow can be migrated to another expected TCP subflow that belongs to a same MPTCP connection as the selected TCP subflow. By taking an additional measure to manage and control MPTCP data transmission on an access network side, a result of the data offloading on the TCP subflow can satisfy the expected requirement for running the system, so as to optimize system performance, and improve practicability of the MPTCP congestion control algorithm.
