At yesterday's WG meeting, we did a consensus call on how MPTCP should signal control data.
Either Use a TCP option (for all signalling) 
Or Use TLV encoding in payload (for at least some signalling) 

the consensus amongst the people in the room was to go for the first choice (TCP option for all signalling). 
The consensus wasn't unanimous but was very strong (~ 20:3).

We now need to confirm this decision on the list - and in particular to give a chance for people who werent in Maastricht to express their preference 

thanks
