\section{Future Work}

The most interesting future work on multi-homed devices would focus on adding additional features to gateways.

Work on the most effective method of allowing a gateway to inform a device behind it that it is worth adding additional MPTCP subflows.

Work on gateways understanding the Layer 4 concepts of MPTCP and adapting their load balancing algorithms to ensure that multiple subflows of the same MPTCP flow are split appropriately between the available links.

Work on gateways that understand MPTCP to take a non-MPTCP flow and transparently convert it into a MPTCP flow at the gateway, and back again as it reaches the device behind.

Work on IPv6 multi-homing to more effectively inform devices behind it of when they have multiple homes.

TODO: Check, for all of these, whether they should actually be in past work. Particularly the IPv6 multi-homing one.
