Summary
The work evaluates MPTCP v1 in LEO networks emulated with bLEO, combining multipath subflows and ECMP routes to analyze continuity, performance and scalability.
Main contribution
The main contribution is an eBPF-based emulation platform able to represent dynamic LEO constellations and evaluate transport and routing decisions with FRRouting/OSPF. The study shows the tension between session robustness and the effective use of multiple paths.
Resultados y alcance
La evaluación muestra que MPTCP puede mantener sesiones ante cambios de ruta, aunque ECMP no garantiza por sí solo que los subflujos utilicen trayectos realmente diversos. Los resultados identifican la interacción entre encaminamiento, handovers y control de congestión como factor clave para aprovechar el transporte multipath en LEO.
Link with BoND1
The publication fits BoND1 through its focus on LEO satellite connectivity, scalable emulation and IoT/6G services that require continuity under mobility, handovers and rapid topology changes.

Main contribution
The main contribution is an eBPF-based emulation platform capable of representing dynamic LEO constellations and evaluating transport and routing decisions with FRRouting/OSPF. The study shows the tension between session robustness and effective exploitation of multiple paths.
Results and scope
The evaluation shows that MPTCP can maintain sessions in the face of route changes, although ECMP alone does not guarantee that subflows use truly diverse paths. The results identify the interaction between routing, handovers and congestion control as a key factor to take advantage of multipath transport in LEO.
