Methods for providing MPTCP proxy options and devices thereof

Abstract:

A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and device that provides multi-path TCP (MPTCP) proxy options includes receiving a SYN packet comprising one or more MPTCP options as a request for a new TCP connection. A new SYN packet including information from the received SYN packet is generated and the generated new SYN packet is forwarded to the server. A SYN acknowledgement including information associated with one or more supported MPTCP options is received from the server. A new SYN acknowledgement packet including the information from the received SYN acknowledgement is generated and forwarded to the requesting client computing device.
