[PATCH mptcp-iproute 0/4] mptcp: guide the user to avoid mistakes

Posted by Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) 3 months ago

According to some bug reports we had in the past, setting the MPTCP
endpoints might be confusing, and the wrong flags might be set.

Adding missing info for the 'dev' parameter, and clarifying 'signal' and
'subflow' flags in the manual is a first step. But because people might
surprisingly not (fully) read the manual, printing warnings to stderr if
the 'signal' and 'subflow' flags are wrongly used is a second step to
prevent frustration, and bug reports.
