Re: [tsvwg] New Liaison Statement, "LS to IETF TSVWG on MP-DCCP"

[[e-mail]]

Hi Andreas, Markus, all,

BT sees MP-DCCP as a good option for future Hybrid Access solutions that support non-TCP traffic, and especially for latency sensitive and unreliable flows. An aspect of MP-DCCP that is of particular interest is that it offers a lightweight mechanism for multipath traffic delivery which we believe is important in terms of reducing resource requirements (and improving energy efficiency) for mobile devices, CPE and network infrastructure.

Kind Regards,
Stephen
