But for various reasons, the ADD_ADDR could be sent after the "4th ACK", and the special case doesn't work. On NIPA, the new test validating this special case for the C-flag failed a few times, e.g. 102 default limits, server deny join id 0 syn rx [FAIL] got 0 JOIN[s] syn rx expected 2 Server ns stats (...) MPTcpExtAddAddrTx 1 MPTcpExtEchoAdd 1 Client ns stats (...) MPTcpExtAddAddr 1 MPTcpExtEchoAddTx 1 synack rx [FAIL] got 0 JOIN[s] synack rx expected 2 ack rx [FAIL] got 0 JOIN[s] ack rx expected 2 join Rx [FAIL] see above syn tx [FAIL] got 0 JOIN[s] syn tx expected 2 join Tx [FAIL] see above I had a suspicion about what the issue could be: the ADD_ADDR might have been received after the switch to the 'fully-established' state. The issue was not easy to reproduce. The packet capture shown that the ADD_ADDR can indeed be sent with a delay, and the client would not try to establish subflows to it as expected. A simple fix is not to mark the endpoints as 'used' in the C-flag case, when looking at creating subflows to the remote initial IP address and port. In this case, there is no need to try. Note: newly added fullmesh endpoints will still continue to be used as expected, thanks to the conditions behind mptcp_pm_add_addr_c_flag_case.
