+MPTCP Sysfs variables
+=====================
+
+/proc/sys/net/mptcp/* Variables
+===============================
+
+enabled - BOOLEAN
+	Control whether MPTCP sockets can be created.
+
+	MPTCP sockets can be created if the value is 1. This is a
+	per-namespace sysctl.
+
+	Default: 1 (enabled)
+
+add_addr_timeout - INTEGER (seconds)
+	Set the timeout after which an ADD_ADDR control message will be
+	resent to an MPTCP peer that has not acknowledged a previous
+	ADD_ADDR message.
+
+	The default value matches TCP_RTO_MAX. This is a per-namespace
+	sysctl.
+
+	Default: 120
+
+checksum_enabled - BOOLEAN
+	Control whether DSS checksum can be enabled.
+
+	DSS checksum can be enabled if the value is nonzero. This is a
+	per-namespace sysctl.
+
+	Default: 0
+
+allow_join_initial_addr_port - BOOLEAN
+	Allow peers to send join requests to the IP address and port number used
+	by the initial subflow if the value is 1. This controls a flag that is
+	sent to the peer at connection time, and whether such join requests are
+	accepted or denied.
+
+	Joins to addresses advertised with ADD_ADDR are not affected by this
+	value.
+
+	This is a per-namespace sysctl.
+
+	Default: 1
+
+pm_type - INTEGER
+	Set the default path manager type to use for each new MPTCP
+	socket. In-kernel path management will control subflow
+	connections and address advertisements according to
+	per-namespace values configured over the MPTCP netlink
+	API. Userspace path management puts per-MPTCP-connection subflow
+	connection decisions and address advertisements under control of
+	a privileged userspace program, at the cost of more netlink
+	traffic to propagate all of the related events and commands.
+
+	This is a per-namespace sysctl.
+
+	* 0 - In-kernel path manager
+	* 1 - Userspace path manager
+
+	Default: 0
+
+stale_loss_cnt - INTEGER
+	The number of MPTCP-level retransmission intervals with no traffic and
+	pending outstanding data on a given subflow required to declare it stale.
+	The packet scheduler ignores stale subflows.
+	A low stale_loss_cnt  value allows for fast active-backup switch-over,
+	an high value maximize links utilization on edge scenarios e.g. lossy
+	link with high BER or peer pausing the data processing.
+
+	This is a per-namespace sysctl.
+
+	Default: 4
