Multipath TCP (MPTCP for short) describes the extensions proposed for
TCP so that endpoints of a given TCP connection can use multiple
paths to exchange data. Such extensions enable the exchange of
segments using different source-destination address pairs, resulting
in the capability of using multiple paths in a significant number of
scenarios. Some level of multihoming and mobility support can be
achieved through these extensions. However, the support for multiple
IP addresses per endpoint may have implications on the security of
the resulting MPTCP. This note includes a threat analysis for MPTCP.
