+The Multipath TCP Daemon is a daemon for Linux based operating systems that
+performs multipath TCP path management related operations in user space. It
+interacts with the Linux kernel through a generic netlink connection to track
+per-connection information (e.g. available remote addresses), available network
+interfaces, request new MPTCP subflows, handle requests for subflows, etc.
