Awesome Project! I'm curious how this relates to the Mobile IP Standard (RFC 5944). Is Multipath TCP intended to Augment Mobile IP? Replace it? Not related at all? I would be very interested to hear from the Developers / Researches how they envision Multipath TCP working with (or replacing) other Standards.
I would also be interested in hearing what needs to be done on the Client End for Multipath TCP to be supported; For example, say I was to build a Linux Server with the Multipath TCP enabled Kernel (to serve my App), would the Clients (likely Mobile Smartphones) also need to run an O/S with a Multipath TCP enabled Kernel? I'm assuming the answer is Yes, but I'm kind of hoping I missed something and the answer is No. Because if this is the case, then both Android and iOS would need to support Multipath TCP (which means this may not become mainstream for quite some time).
Also, I noticed the referenced PDF said the Technology was already being Licensed (with a Non-Disclosure Agreement). This seems to imply it will not be Open Source. I checked the Git Repo, and don't see anything about this. Are the Developers / Researchers related to Multipath TCP intending to Open Source this?
In any event, Thank you for this release, something fun to play with!
1. The server and the client must be MPTCP-"aware", so the anwser is yes (but look, someone is talking about a proxy up there, it's a solution to avoid this problem).
