+.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
+
|
|
+MPTCP is a transport protocol built on top of TCP that allows TCP
|
|
+connections to use multiple paths to maximize resource usage and increase
|
|
+redundancy. The ip-mptcp sub-commands allow configuring several aspects of the
|
|
+MPTCP path manager, which is in charge of subflows creation:
|
|
+
|
|
+.P
|
|
+The
|
|
+.B endpoint
|
|
+object specifies the IP addresses that will be used and/or announced for
|
|
+additional subflows:
|
|
+
|
|
+.TS
|
|
+l l.
|
|
+ip mptcp endpoint add add new MPTCP endpoint
|
|
+ip mptcp endpoint delete delete existing MPTCP endpoint
|
|
+ip mptcp endpoint show get existing MPTCP endpoint
|
|
+ip mptcp endpoint flush flush all existing MPTCP endpoints
|
|
+.TE
|
|
+
|
|
+.TP
|
|
+.IR ID
|
|
+is a unique numeric identifier for the given endpoint
|
|
+
|
|
+.TP
|
|
+.BR signal
|
|
+the endpoint will be announced/signalled to each peer via an ADD_ADDR MPTCP
|
|
+sub-option
|
|
+
|
|
+.TP
|
|
+.BR subflow
|
|
+if additional subflow creation is allowed by MPTCP limits, the endpoint will
|
|
+be used as the source address to create an additional subflow after that
|
|
+the MPTCP connection is established.
|
|
+
|
|
+.TP
|
|
+.BR backup
|
|
+the endpoint will be announced as a backup address, if this is a
|
|
+.BR signal
|
|
+endpoint, or the subflow will be created as a backup one if this is a
|
|
+.BR subflow
|
|
+endpoint
|
|
+
|
|
+.sp
|
|
+.PP
|
|
+The
|
|
+.B limits
|
|
+object specifies the constraints for subflow creations:
|
|
+
|
|
+.TS
|
|
+l l.
|
|
+ip mptcp limits show get current MPTCP subflow creation limits
|
|
+ip mptcp limits set change the MPTCP subflow creation limits
|
|
+.TE
|
|
+
|
|
+.TP
|
|
+.IR SUBFLOW_NR
|
|
+specifies the maximum number of additional subflows allowed for each MPTCP
|
|
+connection. Additional subflows can be created due to: incoming accepted
|
|
+ADD_ADDR option, local
|
|
+.BR subflow
|
|
+endpoints, additional subflows started by the peer.
|
|
+
|
|
+.TP
|
|
+.IR ADD_ADDR_ACCEPTED_NR
|
|
+specifies the maximum number of ADD_ADDR suboptions accepted for each MPTCP
|
|
+connection. The MPTCP path manager will try to create a new subflow for
|
|
+each accepted ADD_ADDR option, respecting the
|
|
+.IR SUBFLOW_NR
|
|
+limit.
