MPTCP Tunnel: An Architecture for Aggregating Bandwidth of Heterogeneous Access Networks

Figure 5

The design of PtoS and StoP modules. (a) PtoS module: whole IP packet is received by PtoS module. When batching size reaches batching threshold, the batched data stream is sent to MPTCP module. (b) StoP module: after forwarded through access networks, IP packet is retrieved from data stream and sent to link layer directly.
