Enabling MPTCP

  1. Enable MPTCP for the current session by running the following command:
    sudo sysctl -w net.mptcp.enabled=1
  2. Persist the change across system reboots.

    To ensure that MPTCP remains enabled after the system reboots, run the following command to add net.mptcp.enabled=1 to the /etc/sysctl.conf file:

    echo "net.mptcp.enabled=1" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
  3. Reload the sysctl configuration to apply all persistent settings.
    sudo sysctl -p
  4. Verify that MPTCP is enabled:
    sysctl net.mptcp.enabled

    The expected output is:

    net.mptcp.enabled = 1
