Adding patches is absolutely one of the things that the plus kernel offers. In this case, as Guillaume stated, the modifications are quite extensive. Without understanding all the details of the patches, I would like to ask if there are any consequences that might "negatively" affect the existing plus kernel users.
As I am not a developer of Multipath-TCP, I asked the main developer (Christoph Paasch) about that. Here is what he answered (translated from french):
I see no « negative consequences » in the inclusion of MPTCP in the centosplus kernel. Everything should work normally (and if its not, it’s a bug we can fix). The impact on the performance of plain TCP should be very low.
So, we can assume adding the proposed patches should be transparent to the plus kernel users, I suppose. Is this the case?
KB? To go ahead with this or not? A separate specific kernel?
