The modifications are quite extensive as noted in the beginning. I count 15 patches in include/ and 29 in /net . For each kernel update, the patch set must be updated/tested. Also there may be updates to the patches themselves within a given kernel release. How can this be best handled? Could dealing with the patches cause a delay in the cplus kernel release? Having a separate kernel addressing the mptcp stuff might work around that potential issue. Akemi
