Multipath Transmission Control Protocol (MPTCP) is an extension of TCP meant for multihomed devices, which uses all the available interfaces for a single connection. MPTCP was evolved for Bandwidth aggregation and re silence to network failure. The wireless networks of multihomed devices are of different characteristics, when used together decreases Quality of Service (QoS). MPTCP schedulers tried to fill this gap with different approaches. In this paper we tried to study these schedulers in different network scenarios and came with the findings that to achieve good throughput and decrease download time, only fast paths are preferred.
