Session Description

Today, multi-homed devices with multiple network interfaces, such as smartphones and modern routers, offer significant potential to enhance internet performance and reliability. Open Multipath TCP Router (OMR) leverages the power of multipath transport protocols like Multipath TCP (MPTCP) to aggregate multiple internet connections, enhancing user experience even when application servers don’t support aggregation. This talk will explore how OMR enables this, detailing the tools and configurations necessary for seamless setup and optimal performance.


The following topics will be covered:


  1. Introduction to OpenMPTCPRouter
  2. How OMR Works
  3. Core Features of OMR
  4. Installation and Setup
  5. Configuring and Managing Connections
  6. Monitoring and Troubleshooting
  7. Use Cases and Applications
  8. Community and Resources


Demo:

Participants can view a live demo of OMR preloaded on Raspberry Pi 4 boards, showcasing its functions and features.
