  • Publication number: 20230269308
    Abstract: An objective of the present disclosure is to enable a terminal device compatible with an MPTCP to perform communication using the MPTCP even with a service server incompatible with the MPTCP. In a communication system, a terminal device and a service server incompatible with a multipath transmission control protocol (MPTCP) transmit and receive a packet. The communication system includes a relay server connected between the service server and the terminal device and determines whether the terminal device is compatible with the MPTCP. When the terminal device is compatible with the MPTCP, the relay server establishes an MPTCP main session and sub-session, establishes a transmission control protocol (TCP) session with the service server, transmits and receives a packet to and from the service server using the TCP session, and transmits and receives a packet to and from the terminal device using the MPTCP main session and sub-session.
