MPTCP is supported by more and more servers these days! Note: if you don't see the two large graphs at the top, disable ad-blockers and/or try with another browser.
More and more apps (mostly server apps) have a dedicated option to enable MPTCP. Some server apps have even decided to enable MPTCP support by default, which makes sense: if MPTCP is not requested, TCP is used like…
There are different ways to force an app to use MPTCP, where the most convenient method is 'mptcpize run <cmd>', see: https://www.mptcp.dev/setup.html#force-applications-to-use-m... But the best is to let the app (and…
Of course you can do that. There are different timeouts (MPTCP level, TCP (and SSH) keep alive, etc.) to prevent having dangling connections for a while, but they can be changed if needed.
Such middleboxes can also be seen in cellular networks. (And firewall in free access points / guest networks)
Some ISPs in Europe are using MPTCP for people being too far from the street cabinets. Typically, for people in the countryside, with < 50 Mbps. Thanks to a transparent proxy installed in the home gateway, and servers…
Note that MPQUIC is still being discussed at the IETF. At the last IETF meeting, more changes have been discussed. Unfortunately, that slows down its adoption. https://lwn.net/Articles/964377/ But both tries to achieve…
Yes, that's correct. In the Linux kernel, it would not be possible to switch to MPTCP by default. But apps can use it by default. For the server case, it really makes sense:…
I hope some apps will start using it :)
Good point, the last version (v0.60) is using the upstream kernel by default. I just added it in the list: https://www.mptcp.dev/apps.html#misc
