I work supporting, debugging, fixing the Linux network stack and drivers. I am amazed how little adoption this has seen.
Like everything which came along and tried to supplant regular TCP, such as SCTP, it seems MPTCP has also been confined to a niche of application developers who will use it forever while the rest of the world forgets about it.
- dilyevsky 3y agoOther folks have commented - Apple Siri uses mptcp so not exactly niche considering how many devices that is
- suprjami 3y agoSimilarly, I promise you everything you've ever done over a 4G or 5G phone has used SCTP inside the phone provider. That doesn't mean the general developer population know about it. I bet most developers have never even heard of it.
- dilyevsky 3y agoI worked on IMS before it was widely rolled out and at least back then its was just SIP over TCP and UDP (RTP/RTCP) for media. SCTP was widely used for eNodeB - MME comms tho iirc
