Re: Middleboxes to aid the deployment of MPTCP

Joe, I've noted this before, but to share with other areas: You noted this about previous documents. The document that I mentioned describes a new design that answers several of the comments that you raised on the mptcp mailing list. Although I'm not averse to middleboxes as optional

Hi, all, I've noted this before, but to share with other areas: Although I'm not averse to middleboxes as optional optimizations, I find the proposed mechanisms aren't quite optional -- they inject option information into the SYN data. That information would poison a connection to a legacy

Re: Transport attention to 6lo draft on fragmentation

Some quick notes: RFC1191 is for IPv4. The RFC for IPv6 PMTUD has just been revised (8201), and includes clarified and corrected terms for the various types of MTU that need to be considered. It might also be useful to look at draft-ietf-intarea-tunnels and its terminology for MTU values, esp.

Middleboxes to aid the deployment of MPTCP

Hello, The design of Multipath TCP (RFC6824) has been heavily influenced by various types of interferences caused by middleboxes. These problems have been solved and the protocol is deployed at a large scale by several smartphone vendors. One of the remaining items of the charter of the
