Huh? From the MPTCP architecture document: "The multipath transport protocol must allow for a logical transport endpoint as seen by the application to correspond to multiple physical network attachment points, such as multiple IP addresses on the same or different network interfaces." Note the "multiple addresses on the same ... network interface[]". Yes, it does mention other possible techniques for gaining access to multiple parallel paths, but the first ("Use a path selector value") is not possible at the moment, and the other ("Next-hop selection") will only affect outgoing traffic, not incoming. So as far as I can see, use of multiple addresses is the _principle_ technique used by MPTCP to support _site multi-homing_ (which is what I was referring to with 'multi-homing"). Do you disagree with that? (Yes, hosts with multiple interfaces may be more common in the future, and MPTCP also handles that - but that's not what people generally refer to as 'multi-homing', which tends to mean 'site multi-homing' - which is, after all, what has the routing people concerned.) You may want to quibble with the use of "PA", but if a site has a PI address, presumably it does site multi-homing that way. Noel
