Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is an extension to TCP that + allows for the use of multiple network interfaces on a + standard TCP session. The addition of new addresses and + scheduling of data across these occurs transparently from the + perspective of the TCP application.

+ +

The goal of this project is to deliver an MPTCP kernel + patch that interoperates with the reference MPTCP + implementation, along with additional enhancements to aid + network research.

+ +

The patch now supports the core mechanisms of the MPTCP + protocol (multi-address operation, data-level retransmission, + etc).

+ +

Recent additions include improved socket-option + handling and the transfer of some logging output to DTRACE. The + patch has been updated to build against r285254 of HEAD.

+ +

A patch (v0.5) is currently being tested and will be + made available to the public shortly, with a plan to release + further patches on a more frequent basis following that.

+ + + + FreeBSD Foundation + + + + +

Complete documentation and testing for release of the v0.5 + patch.

+ + +

Release Technical Report describing the implementation + of v0.5.
