This new endpoint type has been recently added to the kernel in v6.18 [1]. It will be used to create new subflows from the associated address to additional addresses announced by the other peer. This will be done if allowed by the MPTCP limits, and if the associated address is not already being used by another subflow from the same MPTCP connection. Note that the fullmesh flag takes precedence over the laminar one. Without any of these two flags, the path-manager will create new subflows to additional addresses announced by the other peer by selecting the source address from the routing tables, which is harder to configure if the announced address is not known in advance. The support of the new flag is easy: simply by adding it in the mptcp_addr_flag_names array. The usage menu and the manual now references the new endpoint type. The new corresponding counter has also been added in ss.
