Exactly... :)
The protocol specification of MPTCP is not stable yet
(http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mptcp-multiaddressed/).
Also, all the features are not yet in our implementation (e.g., IPv6-support
and dual IPv4/IPv6-support), and it is necessary to make our implementation
less intrusive to the regular TCP/IP-stack.
However, as developper-resources are limited this will still take quite some
time... ;)
Cheers,
Christoph
