Multipath TCP

NGINX 🌐 1.29.7 mainline version introduces support for Multipath TCP 🔀 🎉

This comes a bit after two NGINX’s forks – freenginx and Angie – with a different approach, but still with the same way to enable it: simply by adding the multipath parameter to the listen instruction, e.g.

  listen <address|port> multipath

More details here.

xfr is a modern IPerf alternative with a live TUI, multi-client server, and QUIC support. Built in Rust 🦀. The last version supports MPTCP 🔀 natively by simply using `xfr --mptcp` on the client side.

Did you know you can have MPTCP support with any devices running Android 16? 😯

OK, it is not easily accessible, but using the included Terminal app 🖥️, you can use MPTCP! 🔀

(Android 16 has a Terminal app which runs a full Linux VM with Debian Bookworm and a kernel 6.1 with MPTCP support. Sadly, Google still didn't add full MPTCP support, despite now using kernels supporting it. If you know people who can change that, please contact me 🙂)

Do you use SSH with MPTCP 🔀 for better resilience in mobility use cases or to increase the throughput? Then, feel free to check the new script to pass to ProxyCommand in the SSH config instead of using mptcpize: https://www.mptcp.dev/faq.html#how-to-enable-mptcp-support-with-openssh

Thanks to @shoragan for having shared this script!

(Hopefully the SSH maintainers will allow one of the suggested (1) (2) native MPTCP support at some points!)

New blog post 📰! What happened the last 9 months around MPTCP 🔀, and which new features will be available in the future LTS v6.18 Linux kernel version: https://blog.mptcp.dev/2025/10/16/v6.18-with-many-features.html

- Better load-balancer deployment support on the client side 🔄
- New 'laminar' endpoints for better controlling addresses signalled by a server 📢
- mptcpd: security review and improvements 🔐
- More apps natively supporting MPTCP 🧑‍💻
- Misc.: PM, counters, CI, perf, socket options, adaptive ADD_ADDR timeout and future work. 📈

MPTCP or Multipath TCP is an extension to the standard TCP to allow devices to make use of multiple interfaces at once. See https://mptcp.dev for more details.

Thanks to @nlnet for funding part of this work 🎉

A 🆕 TCP-in-UDP tool is available, using eBPF 🐝 to translate TCP packets into UDP 🚇 to avoid middleboxes interfering with some TCP extensions like MPTCP 🔀.

A new page has just been added to the MPTCP website to help deploy it behind a stateless L4 load-balancer 🔀
It would be great if CDNs can support MPTCP 😇

MPTCP changes for Linux 6.15 have just been added to our ChangeLog section:

v6.15: Single subflow optimisation + prepare PM extension

- Optimise MPTCP performance in single subflow mode by ~29%.
- Expose TCP ULP diagnostic info (MPTCP subflows) to non-admin users.
- PM: a lot of cleanups and preparation work (e.g. new pm_kernel.c file) to allow future extensions
- PM: net.mptcp.path_manager (and net.mptcp.available_path_managers) Sysctl knob deprecates net.mptcp.pm_type
- Misc small optimisations and code coverage

#iperf3's next version should support #MPTCP thanks to a new '-m' (or --mptcp) option 🎉

Our PR, initially created in 2021, has recently been merged! It will no longer be needed to use iperf3 with "mptcpize run" on both sides to get MPTCP support, and it is enough to add -m only on the client side!

Nice blog post from Marek (Cloudflare)!

Improvements for the client side are coming (and even already available with an up-to-date kernel ;-) )! Do not hesitate to tell Cloudflare it would be nice if they can support MPTCP on the server side ;-) https://blog.cloudflare.com/multi-path-tcp-revolutionizing-connectivity-one-path-at-a-time/
