Hello all, A new v0.4 patch is available at [1]. This release is mostly bug-fixes and improvements to core functionality (establishing/closing connections, retransmissions etc), and also brings the implementation up to a more recent version of FreeBSD-HEAD. The full list of changes and caveats can be found in [2] and [3], but briefly: - Patched against r265307 of FreeBSD-HEAD. This is prior to some recent TCP reassembly memory management changes and the patch will be brought up to a newer revision soon (currently working on integrating those changes). - Added data-level retransmits and subflows can now stall and recover (or timeout) during a connection. - The path management and packet scheduler are still fairly rudimentary, and I haven't yet implemented coupled CC. - The patch is still under heavy development so consider this release code to be of alpha quality. This release ties up work that was partially supported by a gift from The Cisco University Research Program Fund. Future releases will be supported by a grant from the FreeBSD Foundation. P.S. I will be working on the patch full-time again so updates should be a little more frequent from this point onwards. cheers, nigel [1] http://caia.swin.edu.au/urp/newtcp/mptcp/tools.html [2] http://caia.swin.edu.au/urp/newtcp/mptcp/tools/mptcp-changelog-v0.4.txt [3] http://caia.swin.edu.au/urp/newtcp/mptcp/tools/mptcp-readme-v0.4.txt On 11/03/13 03:49, Lawrence Stewart wrote: > Hi all, > > The CAIA MPTCP team is pleased to announce the initial release of our > multipath TCP implementation for FreeBSD 10-CURRENT which is available > from [1].
