[multipathtcp] TR: I-D Action: draft-boucadair-mptcp-plain-mode-08.txt

Dear all, 

A new version that integrates the comments received from the list is available online:
* clarify that the solution applies for both CPEs and hosts directly connected to operator networks.
* clarify how fragmentation is managed for UDP.
* clarify that one MPTCP connection is bound to one UDP flow
* precise the behavior when a plain mode option includes multicast and broadcast addresses
* call out that CGN optimization are inherited (e.g., optimize logging files, address pooling, port randomization, port set assuagement, etc.).
* add a new section to explicit the target deployment and middlebox interference
* add some text about checksum adjustment

Reviews are more than welcome.

Cheers,
Med

> Abstract:
>    Because of the lack of Multipath TCP (MPTCP) support at the server
>    side, some service providers now consider a network-assisted model
>    that relies upon the activation of a dedicated function called MPTCP
>    concentrator.  This document focuses on a deployment scheme where the
>    identity of the MPTCP concentrator(s) is explicitly configured on
>    connected hosts.
> 
>    This document specifies an MPTCP option that is used to avoid the
>    encapsulation of packets and out-of-band signaling between the CPE
>    and the MPTCP concentrator.  Also, this document specifies how UDP
>    traffic, in particular, can be distributed among available paths by
>    leveraging MPTCP capabilities.
