Abstract

The invention relates to a communication device (100) for transmitting a Transmission Control Protocol, TCP, segment over a communication network using a Multipath Transmission Control Protocol, MPTCP. The communication device (100) comprises a communication interface (101) configured to establish an MPTCP data flow comprising a plurality of data sub-flows to a further communication device, and to receive at least one priority indicator from a network entity, wherein the at least one priority indicator indicates a respective priority of a respective data sub-flow. The communication device (100) further comprises a scheduler (103) configured to select, for the TCP segment, a data sub-flow from the plurality of data sub-flows based on the at least one priority indicator. The communication interface is configured to transmit the TCP segment via the selected data sub-flow to the further communication device.
