Explain the range (u8), and the special case for ID 0. The endpoints here are for all the connections, while the ID 0 is a special case per connection, depending on the source address used by the initial subflow. This ID 0 can then not be used for the global endpoints. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Baerts (NGI0) <matttbe@kernel.org> --- man/man8/ip-mptcp.8 | 6 +++++- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
