Manu, any idea?

// retrying plain text format.... please outlook, please, make this happen!

Indeed, this is running Ubuntu 20.04. I am planning to eventually update to 22.04 (which has iproute 5.15),
But I don’t have a good ETA to give other than this is not going to be in the coming month.

It does not seem that iproute provides an easy way to check its version, and the version returned by the container is:
 
root@081a02e57175:/actions-runner# ip --json -V
ip utility, iproute2-ss200127
root@081a02e57175:/actions-runner# dpkg -l iproute2

How complicated is it to set MPTCP directly using netlink following https://github.com/iproute2/iproute2/blob/397383a30c3b0e3ff551042b6654898a0872b83e/ip/ipmptcp.c#L573 ?
Seems tools/testing/selftests/bpf/netlink_helpers.c could be useful to deal with the netlink part. And the former link to find out how to format the message?
