entries:

unspec:

unused event

created:

token, family, saddr4 | saddr6, daddr4 | daddr6, sport, dport A new MPTCP connection has been created. It is the good time to allocate memory and send ADD_ADDR if needed. Depending on the traffic-patterns it can take a long time until the MPTCP_EVENT_ESTABLISHED is sent.

established:

token, family, saddr4 | saddr6, daddr4 | daddr6, sport, dport A MPTCP connection is established (can start new subflows).

closed:

token A MPTCP connection has stopped.

announced:

token, rem_id, family, daddr4 | daddr6 [, dport] A new address has been announced by the peer.

removed:

token, rem_id An address has been lost by the peer.

sub-established:

token, family, loc_id, rem_id, saddr4 | saddr6, daddr4 | daddr6, sport, dport, backup, if_idx [, error] A new subflow has been established. ‘error’ should not be set.

sub-closed:

token, family, loc_id, rem_id, saddr4 | saddr6, daddr4 | daddr6, sport, dport, backup, if_idx [, error] A subflow has been closed. An error (copy of sk_err) could be set if an error has been detected for this subflow.

sub-priority:

token, family, loc_id, rem_id, saddr4 | saddr6, daddr4 | daddr6, sport, dport, backup, if_idx [, error] The priority of a subflow has changed. ‘error’ should not be set.

listener-created:

family, sport, saddr4 | saddr6 A new PM listener is created.

listener-closed:

family, sport, saddr4 | saddr6 A PM listener is closed.
