> During the last years, we have received on a regular basis questions from

> Abstract:
>   This document proposes an enhanced socket API to allow applications
>   to control the operation of a Multipath TCP stack.

> A related paper will also appear at the ANR workshop :

> We have requested a slot to present in Berlin. We expect that agreeing on a

> end-to-end deployment.
