+      <p> Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is an extension to TCP that
+	allows for the use of multiple network interfaces on a
+	standard TCP session.  The addition of new addresses and
+	scheduling of data across these occurs transparently from the
+	perspective of the TCP application.</p>
+
+      <p>The goal of this project is to deliver an MPTCP kernel
+	patch that interoperates with the reference MPTCP
+	implementation, along with additional enhancements to aid
+	network research.</p>
+
+      <p>The patch now supports the core mechanisms of the MPTCP
+	protocol (multi-address operation, data-level retransmission,
+	etc).</p>
+
+      <p>Recent additions include improved socket-option
+	handling and the transfer of some logging output to DTRACE.  The
+	patch has been updated to build against r285254 of HEAD.</p>
+
+      <p>A patch (v0.5) is currently being tested and will be
+	made available to the public shortly, with a plan to release
+	further patches on a more frequent basis following that.</p>
