It would have been nice if the author would have included a reference to the actual open-source project that powers this, along with the authors http://multipath-tcp.org/mptcp_stats/authors.html

Huh? That's the Linux kernel MPTCP project. The article is talking about Apple's use, which rely on a Cisco implementation and an Apple implementation; pretty sure neither are based on the Linux impl.

MTCP is a standardized protocol extension to TCP documented in a handful of RFCs, there's multiple implementations. Apple didn't use the one you linked to.

They didn't write the code Apple is using, which is what the article is about?
