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.

Compatibility
-------------
A new release of iproute2 is done with each kernel version, but
there is a wide range of compatibility. Newer versions of iproute2
will still work with older kernels, but there are some limitations.
If an iproute2 command with a new feature is used with an older
kernel, the kernel may report an error or silently ignore the new
attribute. Likewise if older iproute2 is used with an newer kernel,
it is not possible to use or see new features. The range of
compatibility extends back as far as the oldest supported Long Term
Support (LTS) kernel version.
How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm
arpd needs to have the berkeleydb development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdbX.X-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines. Often this is in the db-devel package.
2. make
The makefile will automatically build a config.mk file which
contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available
on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX.
3. include/uapi
This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
if you have special requirements and need to point at different
kernel include files.
