oh, darn! :)

reading the ID that masataka referenced, it sounded very much like shim6
about ~4 yrs prior to shim6's "invention".
I also don't recall seeing the draft referenced during the shim6
conversations.

Also, for completeness, MP-TCP clearly does not help UDP or ICMP flows...
nor IPSEC nor GRE nor...
unless you HTTP over MP-TCP and encap UDP/ICMP/GRE/IPSEC over that!

Talk about layer violations! talk about fun!
