[PATCH v2 0/5] mptcp support

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

Hi,
  This set adds support for multipath TCP (mptcp), and has
been tested for migration and (lightly) for NBD.

  Multipath-tcp is a bit like bonding, but at L3; you can use
it to handle failure, but can also use it to split traffic across
multiple interfaces.

  Using a pair of 10Gb interfaces, I've managed to get 19Gbps
(with the only tuning being using huge pages and turning the MTU up).

  It needs a bleeding-edge Linux kernel (in some older ones you get
false accept messages for the subflows), and a C lib that has the
constants defined (as current glibc does).

  To use it you just need to append ,mptcp to an address; for migration:

  -incoming tcp:0:4444,mptcp
  migrate -d tcp:192.168.11.20:4444,mptcp

For nbd:

  (qemu) nbd_server_start 0.0.0.0:3333,mptcp=on

  -blockdev 
driver=nbd,server.type=inet,server.host=192.168.11.20,server.port=3333,server.mptcp=on,node-name=nbddisk,export=mydisk
 \
  -device virtio-blk,drive=nbddisk,id=disk0

(Many of the other NBD address parsers/forms would need extra work)

  All comments welcome.

Dave

v2
  Use of if defined(...) in the json file based on feedback
  A few missing ifdef's (from a bsd build test)
  Added nbd example.
