A comment on The Linux kernel MultiPath TCP project.

Since the site is having trouble:

MultiPath TCP (MPTCP) is an effort towards enabling the simultaneous use of several IP-addresses/interfaces by a modification of TCP that presents a regular TCP interface to applications, while in fact spreading data across several subflows. Benefits of this include better resource utilization, better throughput and smoother reaction to failures. Slides - explaining MultiPath TCP - are available in .pdf and .pptx format. You can also have a look at our Google Techtalk about MPTCP. The IP Networking Lab is implementing MPTCP in the Linux Kernel and hosting it on this website for users, testers and developers. For questions, feedback,... please contact us at the mptcp-dev Mailing-List

Maybe the site should be using MultiPath TCP?

It is using MPTCP. We are just having right now an extremly high visitor-count. The server is only running on a tiny XEN-VM and thus it becomes overloaded.

Has MPTCP been tested with CoDel?

If you use Multipath TCP with a single interface through a router, it will behave like regular TCP (doing NewReno congestion control scheme)
