<div>Schematic illustrations of HYA, PTM, and MPTCP Tunnel. CPE and Proxy_C are MPTCP-supported devices located in the local network, while BGW, concentrator, and Proxy_I are those located in the Internet side. HYA uses IP Tunnel to bundle access networks, while PTM and MPTCP Tunnel use MPTCP connection to do it.</div>
