Hi,

given that the IETF is already working on MPTCP, it's a bit difficult to see why we should work on another extension to TCP that does some of what MPTCP does, but not all of it, and in a way that is not interoperable with it.

It's not like MPTCP will significantly increase the footprint of the network stack.
