"#Systemd 257 has been released. As usual, the list of changes is long; it includes support for multipath TCP in socket units" 🎉

#MPTCP

Simply add this in your SSH server service file and it will support MPTCP:

[Socket]
SocketProtocol=mptcp
lwn.netSystemd 257 released [LWN.net]

@mptcp That solves one half of the problem. What is the approach for the client side to enable #MPTCP, esp. non-cli like in Nautilus?

Matthieu Baerts

@SchwarzeLocke @mptcp good point. I don't know how it works with Nautilus, if "mptcpize" can help directly, or maybe by modifying the SSH config, adding something like "ProxyCommand mptcpize run ssh %h:%p" (I didn't try)

If you find how to do that, I can add this on the mptcp.dev website 🙂

@matttbe @mptcp Coincidentally I've installed mptcpize this weekend to look into this. I am also thinking that ProxyCommand is worth looking at, but I haven't gotten that far as I still was not able to use MPTCP with "mptcpize enable". I guess I'll wait for the systemd update to reach Debian backports and then try the new SocketProtocol.
