Question about the mptcp code related change #374

Closed patrickkh7788 closed 4 years ago

patrickkh7788 commented 4 years ago

If I install the kernel and set net.mptcp.mptcp_enabled = 1, is there any things need I to do with my app ? for example apply patch to nginx ?

how do I confirm it work with tcpdump or other tools? (I install same kernel on server side and client side)

Not sure which change you are talking about. If both machines run an mptcp kernel then a tcpdump or tshark session on both machines should show MPTCP fields in the TCP header. You can start a very generic capture on a machine by doing something like:

tshark -i any

All you have to do on the client side is a simple connection request such as:

curl your.server.com

For more details on how to capture network traffic read the tshark (or tcpdump) online documentation.
