A single flow stream could be divided into several sub-flows to be sent across multiple paths. This method obtains obvious advantages against traditional TCP as it maintains higher reliability and makes bettaer use of the network resources. Congestion control algorithm is an essential part to be considered. This paper first reviews the existing multipath TCP congestion control algorithms and then analyzes and formulates the goals and problems need to be achieved and solved. A delay-based congestion control algorithm named Weighted Vegas (wVegas) is provided. Finally, two possible modifications are demonstrated including adjusting the congestion control window according to how far the path is from congestion and redefining the behavior when loss occurs.
