Mirja,

I agree that we need to encourage native MPTCP connections. 

The problem is that if the MCP blindly withdraws itself based on the server capabilities, MPTCP connections may not be established in some cases, e.g., private IPv4 addresses are assigned for some secondary access networks. 

That would be unfortunate. 

BTW, relying on the SYN/ACK is not the **only** solution. One can consider configuring a whitelist to the proxy. 

Cheers,
Med
