MPTCP v0.95 Release

The MPTCP v0.95 release is based on the Linux Kernel Longterm Support release v4.19. It's new features compared to the v0.94 release are:

  • Support for the Desynchronized Multi-Channel TCP congestion control from Cheng Cui (see http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/6911722/ and https://doi.org/10.1016/j.comcom.2015.07.010)
  • A new Netlink-based path-manager API. This allows to create a user-space path-manager that steers the subflow creation/destruction (by Gregory Detal and Matthieu Baerts). To steer the path-manager a user-space daemon is under development at mptcpd (by Ossama Othman). Documentation about the API can be found here.
  • BLocking ESTimation-based (BLEST) Scheduler (by Daniel Weber and Simone Ferlin), taking head-of-line blocking into account when scheduling data.
  • Lockless subflow establishment provides an additional performance gain.

This release includes a total of 145 commits.
