Hello everyone,

This week, we had our new meeting with Mat (Cruise), Paolo, Davide (Red
Hat), Christoph (Apple), and myself (NGI0 Core).


Thanks again for this new good meeting!

Here are the minutes of the meeting:

    - Is it OK for MPTCP?
    - Mat looked at it, and it looks like it doesn't affect perfs
    - mm maintainers are asking for other changes
    - not clear if this solves anything useful/important, maybe it helps
for the maintenance?

Extra tests:
    - news about Syzkaller? (Christoph):
        - /

    - news about interop with mptcp.org/other stacks? (?):
        - /

    - packetdrill (Davide):
        - MIB test from Davide has been updated

    - Patchew (Davide):
        - it looks like we cannot include a diff in the comment section
of a test:
        -
https://patchew.org/MPTCP/864efc65050c64f3876e75376bbe587bdf42e2eb.1713189887.git.pabeni@redhat.com/logs/git/

    - CI (Matth):
        - https://ci-results.mptcp.dev/flakes.html



Network Manager:
    - ask to automatically create IP rules/routes per IP to route
packets using this source IP through the right iface?
    - they are implementing that
    - but if we use the 'ip mptcp endpoint add' with a 'device', we
don't need such rules
    - TODO: update doc → done



MPTCP (fork):
    - https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp
    - should we archive the repo?
    - Best to archive it + put the link to the new implementation
    - TODO: Matth → done



LPC & netconf 2024:
    - co-located this year
    - how many days for the networking track (public) vs netconf (private)?
    - there will still be a public networking track at LPC
    - to be checked if there are stuff that need to be discussed and
related to MPTCP



mptcp.dev:
    - https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp.dev/pull/2
    - It adds Cloudflare analytics, but not using cookies, nor taking
data, etc. and anyway blocked by ublock, privacy badger, Firefox
Enhanced Tracking Protection, etc.
    - plan:
        - Mat will look at it before merging → Done
        - Matth will change the routing section → Done



Next meeting:
    - Next one on *Wednesday*, the 24th of April.
    - 17:30 UTC (8.30am PDT, 5.30pm CEST, 11.30pm CST)
    - Still open to everyone!
    - https://annuel2.framapad.org/p/mptcp_upstreaming_20240424



Feel free to comment on these topics and suggest new ones for the next
meeting!

Talk to you on Wednesday,
Matt
