Re: [multipathtcp] Closing the MPTCP working group

[Yoshifumi Nishida <[e-mail]>]

Hi Mirja, thanks for the announcement.

I really appreciate 11 years hard work of the people in the WG.
MPTCP now became a successful technology which has been adopted and used in
various places.
Although the WG is closed, we can and should continue this work in a new
venue as I believe MPTCP still has lots of room to extend so that it can be
more efficient and sophisticated.

Thank you so much!!!
