how to analyse mptcp

0

almost every guide book says that mptcp protocol has been supported since the 1.7.1 version of wireshark ,but i cannot find the mptcp in the enabled-protocol in either 1.7.1 or 1.12.1.I want to analyse my simulation result using mptcp. Hope you guy help me to work with wireshark to analyse mptcp.

A quick look at the Wireshark TCP dissector shows code related to mptcp.

I'm not familiar with mptcp, but the Wireshark code related to mptcp seems to be about dissecting tcp options.

So it appears that mptcp is not treated as a separate protocol but is handled in the TCP dissector.

Note: A web search for "mptcp wireshark" finds some hits which may provide additional info.

@ryanhuang: Wireshark dissects the MPTCP options in the TCP header. AFIAK it does not corelate the streams or generate any special mptcp statistics.

If you need that, the following tool might be interesting:

oops,according to your advice,i verify the packet by wireshark, and i found the mptcp option in the tcp option. There may be some errors in my simulation packets.Thanks a lot!
