Efficient data transfer for high-quality streaming requires fast
speed, low latency, and stable transmission parameters. Utilizing multiple
communication paths is a promising solution for improving performance.
This paper evaluates the most common MPTCP congestion control algorithms
in the context of streaming applications in the open Internet. The
results show that the BALIA algorithm is the most effective CC algorithm
for multi-path streaming. This algorithm achieves the lowest path delay and
Head-of-Line blocking degree with consistent throughput. Conversely, the
MPTCP CC algorithm wVegas exhibits the weakest performance.
