if you want that your work becomes part of the official network stack you
should align your effort on the official Linux way. This means you should
split your work and publish patches on this maillinglist.
Hmm, they probably know that, and prefer to wait MTCP stuff is mature
before patch submission :)
Exactly... :)

The protocol specification of MPTCP is not stable yet 
(http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mptcp-multiaddressed/).

Also, all the features are not yet in our implementation (e.g., IPv6-support 
and dual IPv4/IPv6-support), and it is necessary to make our implementation 
less intrusive to the regular TCP/IP-stack.

However, as developper-resources are limited this will still take quite some 
time... ;)

Cheers,
Christoph
