MPTCP v0.88 Release
The MPTCP v0.88 release is based on Linux Kernel v3.11. Its new features compared to the v0.87 release are:
- Allow compiling with TCP_SYNCOOKIES and TCP_MD5SIG-option
- Modularized path-manager:
The path-manager is now a loadable module, which allows to have a better-structured code and it is more easy to extend/add a path-manager.
- You can configure the used path-manager through the sysctl net.mptcp.mptcp_path_manager
- You have the choice between:
- 'default': This path-manager actually does not do anything. The host won't announce different IP-addresses nor initiate the creation of new subflows. However, it will accept the passive creation of new subflows.
- 'fullmesh': This path-manager is the same as the path-manager of the previous release. It will create a full-mesh of subflows among all available subflows.
- 'ndiffports': This one will create X subflows across the same pair of IP-addresses, modifying the source-port. To control the number of subflows (X), you can set the sysctl net.mptcp.mptcp_ndiffports to a value > 1.
- Lots of cleanup and bug-fixes.
Get it!
