As is described in the "How to use MPTCP?" section in MPTCP wiki [1]: "Your app should create sockets with IPPROTO_MPTCP as the proto: ( socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_MPTCP); ). Legacy apps can be forced to create and use MPTCP sockets instead of TCP ones via the mptcpize command bundled with the mptcpd daemon." But the mptcpize (LD_PRELOAD technique) command has some limitations [2]: - it doesn't work if the application is not using libc (e.g. GoLang apps) - in some envs, it might not be easy to set env vars / change the way apps are launched, e.g. on Android - mptcpize needs to be launched with all apps that want MPTCP: we could have more control from BPF to enable MPTCP only for some apps or all the ones of a netns or a cgroup, etc. - it is not in BPF, we cannot talk about it at netdev conf. So this patchset attempts to use BPF to implement functions similer to mptcpize. The main idea is to add a hook in sys_socket() to change the protocol id from IPPROTO_TCP (or 0) to IPPROTO_MPTCP.
