Eventually, when I have cable+wifi connected at the same time, I use to force one of both, cannot see a reason to prefer using both at the same time.

I don't understand why you would want to be able to use them with a single path. the gain would be being able to aggregate them and have individual tcp streams faster than any one IP connection could handle.
Though personally I think the resilience is more appealing. Not having to have a hard cutover when wifi degrades as I walk away would be nice
- txutxu 2y agoIf my ISP gives me 10 Gbps, I want my PC to have (at least) a 10Gbps single path to the router. So, If I already have a 10 Gbps path to the router, I don't want to add a 300 Mbps failing air path added to my way to the router. In the context of the parent (at home networks), I think most people has two paths... WiFi or RJ45-UTP. And with that multipath setup (WiFi + RJ45, I don't get why other comments are talking about cellular networks "at home") is not usual to walk away; right, you could walk, as far as long is the rj45 cable, but... To keep HA on WiFi when walking around, there are other technologies more battle tested than MPTCP.
