In this paper we study the design of a rate controller for TCP-friendly non-TCP flows using multiple end-to-end paths simultaneously. Previous work has shown that it is possible to design a rate controller for multipath TCP that is friendly to standard TCP traffic while improving throughput over single path connections. We argue that this rate controller is not optimal for every type of non-TCP traffic. We propose a new rate controller that adjusts the subflow rates dynamically according to the solution of an optimisation problem. We show that it improves goodput over currently known single-path and multi-path controllers while being fair to standard TCP traffic even in the case of not observable shared bottleneck links in the network.
