Embodiments of the present invention provide a link control node and method, and a system. An MPTCP sublink is identified; and from the MPTCP sublink, a first MPTCP sublink on which link control needs to be performed is determined, and an adjustment manner applicable to the first MPTCP sublink is determined. By adding centralized management and control measures on MPTCP connections, a data transmission process on each MPTCP sublink can be performed on an expected communication link, which adapts to running requirements of a system. Therefore, radio resources can be appropriately allocated, and system performance can be improved.
