**What is it?**

Essentially, it allows you to “bond” two or more WAN internet connections together. Like link aggregation but for ISPs.

**Why does it matter?**

For power users and small business environments, the ability to utilize multiple network paths simultaneously is a game-changer. By implementing MPTCP, the Route10 could offer:

- Seamless Redundancy: If one WAN link fails, active TCP connections can stay alive by failing over to a secondary path without dropping the session like traditional failover.
- Bandwidth Aggregation: Users with multiple ISPs (e.g., Fiber + 5G backup) could see increased throughput by spreading a single connection across both pipes.
- Improved Latency: MPTCP can intelligently route packets over the lowest-latency path available at any given millisecond.

This would be killer!
