In this talk we describe our recent research on MPTCP congestion control, which spans control theory and open-source implementation. We describe our \u201cBalia\u201d congestion control algorithm, a key feature of the new v0.90 release of MPTCP Linux Kernel implementation, and review the theory behind its design that enables it to optimize performance tradeoffs. We highlight applications in wireless 5G, data centers and SDN-enabled networks. Ongoing research directions will also be discussed.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBiosketch:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003EAnwar Walid is a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff with the Mathematics of Networks and Systems Research Department in Bell Labs (Murray Hill, N.J.).
