Hi Eric -

I think one helpful guide for you would be this recent post by Davide 
(dcaratti@redhat.com on the cc list):

https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2020/08/19/multipath-tcp-on-red-hat-enterprise-linux-8-3-from-0-to-1-subflows/

With curl, what you're seeing is that existing programs do continue to use 
regular TCP. The blog post has a section on one approach to making 
unmodified programs open sockets with IPPROTO_MPTCP.

The MPTCP upstream community has a mailing list at mptcp@lists.01.org and 
a wiki at https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/wiki - and we 
are working on more documentation with the kind of pointers you're looking 
for.

Thanks for trying out MPTCP!
