This page is being updated in November, 2024, to reflect recent work done on FreeBSD 13.1. Earlier information regarding an implementation on FreeBSD 11.0 is still found below.
cscope was used to search new and old FreeBSD source code for the strings "MPTCP" and "mptcp". Results for FreeBSD HEAD and FreeBSD 8.4 are shown below. Except for the added tcpdump files, the prevalence of these strings has scarcely changed.
References to MPTCP/mptcp in the SCTP source code predates FreeBSD 8.4. Examining the file copyright headers, one can speculate that it originated with the work done by Cisco Systems. It is unclear (at least to me) if the strings have alternate meanings in the SCTP context.

MPTCP is not supported by production releases of FreeBSD.
Recent MPTCP changes to FreeBSD 13.1 from Swinburne University of Technology should be close to being able to work on FreeBSD HEAD. The MPTCP software is not currently production quality per the team that developed it.
Earlier MPTCP work on FreeBSD 11.0 from the Swinburne CAIA project is no longer supported, and can no longer be patched into recent FreeBSD source code without extensive work.
