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 -- Christoph Paasch PhD Student IP Networking Lab --- http://inl.info.ucl.ac.be MultiPath TCP in the Linux Kernel --- http://inl.info.ucl.ac.be/mptcp Université Catholique de Louvain www.rollerbulls.be --
