Some quick comments:

- MPTCP AFAIK mostly runs in kernelspace, so using TLS seems pretty complex
  (I hope one doesn't have to fish anything out of certificates, since
  those are ASN.1).
- Using TLS oppurtinistically is insecure without session_hash extension
  (not standardized yet!).
- Block cipher mode is a bit deprecated in TLS. And the TLS construct
  assumes that mode.
