By design, an MPTCP connection will not accept extra subflows where no MPTCP listening sockets can accept such requests. In other words, it means that if the 'server' listens on a specific address / device, it cannot accept MP_JOIN sent to a different address / device. Except if there is another MPTCP listening socket accepting them. This is what the new tests are validating: - Forcing a bind on the main v4/v6 address, and checking that MP_JOIN to announced addresses are not accepted. - Also forcing a bind on the main v4/v6 address, but before, another listening socket is created to accept additional subflows. Note that 'mptcpize run nc -l' -- or something else only doing: socket(MPTCP), bind(<IP>), listen(0) -- would be enough, but here mptcp_connect is reused not to depend on another tool just for that. - Same as the previous one, but using v6 link-local addresses: this is a bit particular because it is required to specify the outgoing network interface when connecting to a link-local address announced by the other peer. When using the routing rules, this doesn't work (the outgoing interface is not known) ; but it does work with a 'laminar' endpoint having a specified interface. Note that extra small modifications are needed for these tests to work: - mptcp_connect's check_getpeername_connect() check should strip the specified interface when comparing addresses. - With IPv6 link-local addresses, it is required to wait for them to be ready (no longer in 'tentative' mode) before using them, otherwise the bind() will not be allowed.
