Mirja, 

I'm replying to this point separately because I do think it is an important discussion to have.

* I see "a big benefit" for some operators to offload the MTPCP proxies if the server is MPTCP-capable.

* I don’t see "a big benefit" for the client from a QoE perspective, because they already have the MPTCP experience with the network assistance (network aggregation, path resiliency).
* I don’t see "a big benefit" for the client if the MPTCP-capable server decides to use a given path to place data, while that path is subject to a data volume quota. This means that the client will be mono-path quickly if an MPTCP-capable server adopts some traffic distribution schemes.
 
Can you please elaborate on "a big benefit" you mentioned in your message? 

Thank you.

Cheers,
Med
