[RFC PATCH 0/5] mptcp support

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

Hi,
  This RFC set adds support for multipath TCP (mptcp),
in particular on the migration path - but should be extensible
to other users.

  Multipath-tcp is a bit like bonding, but at L3; you can use
it to handle failure, but can also use it to split traffic across
multiple interfaces.

  Using a pair of 10Gb interfaces, I've managed to get 19Gbps
(with the only tuning being using huge pages and turning the MTU up).

  It needs a bleeding-edge Linux kernel (in some older ones you get
false accept messages for the subflows), and a C lib that has the
constants defined (as current glibc does).

  To use it you just need to append ,mptcp to an address;

  -incoming tcp:0:4444,mptcp
  migrate -d tcp:192.168.11.20:4444,mptcp

  I had a quick go at trying NBD as well, but I think it needs
some work with the parsing of NBD addresses.

  All comments welcome.

Dave
