Too bad there is no link to projects using mptcp, such as Openwrt derivatives. PS: I mentored a student for 2 years at GSOC to patch Openwrt with mptcp: https

    Good point, the last version (v0.60) is using the upstream kernel by default. I just added it in the list: https://www.mptcp.dev/apps.html#misc https://www.mptcp.dev/apps.html#misc

  Whats the benefit of an openwrt router supporting mptcp? I'd think support on web servers and mobile devices would be most important...

    Link aggregation and redundancy

    I got fiber run to my neighborhood, and for a while, had a 1gb coax connection and a 1gb fiber connection. I used openmptcprouter to aggregate my connections through a droplet and I effectively had a 2 gigabit internet connection. I would have stuck with it, but having a datacenter IP for your home network really doesn’t work.

      Except TCP is just a bad protocol to start with for tunnelling, because packetized data has to be delivered in-order, and head of line blocking messes up congestion control algorithms in the tunnelled data.

  It was recently enabled in the Home Assistant ‘HAOS’ kernel. https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system/pull/3248 https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system/pull/3248

    I hope some apps will start using it :)

  I've been looking at this project for a while which may be interesting to you: https://github.com/Ysurac/openmptcprouter https://github.com/Ysurac/openmptcprouter. I recently bought a property where I cannot get a full fibre connection, but I can get 150-400 Mbps using 5G. I've been thinking about using dual 5G connections and tunneling my traffic via mptcp to a VPS to aggregate the connections.
