correct, we use openwrt very conveniently in our gateway machine. And there we have multiple uplinks to the Internet. We can use MultiWan3 - but for some other cases we would prefer to aggregate Capacity - and therefore want to use Multipath TCP. (We have some Internet Servers which we want to use as our gateways, because there we have static v4 subnets. )
This is similar to what mobile-providers use for seamingless mobile Network/ wifi transitions. I was in the believe that many "routers" have some kind of DSL and some have extra LTE Uplink. Would be awesome to use it both. And this not only as a fallback strategy. I would agree that most usecases dont have an "endpoint" to reach (multipath). tldr: actually we have fibre connection, a vDSL connection, an Wifi-LongRange connection we want to combine. (in total something around 1600 Mbit down and 800 up ) fuzzle* On 05.02.20 10:20, Alberto Bursi wrote: > > On 05/02/20 08:51, André Valentin wrote: ... >> mptcp is only for the devices intiating and terminating the >> connection.
