I read mirmirs post with some interest... At the moment MPTCP is not implemented in FreeBSD and i don't have a linux machine particularly convenient to play with this on, although that should change soon.
I talked to some people on #freebsd and there is an MPTCP source tree, but it's essentially a fork at the moment, total PITA to get merged into a running system, probably 11.x only (im still at 10.3-release on my handful of machines).
In any case i continue to follow all such posts with interest. ;)
