Hi Eric,

Here are the tcpdump files for the first TSO-disabled experiment, in a
full version and a short version with only the first 10000 packets:

http://home.simula.no/~kaspar/static/mptcp-emu-wlan-hspa-01-tos0-exp1-full.pcap
http://home.simula.no/~kaspar/static/mptcp-emu-wlan-hspa-01-tos0-exp1-short.pcap

By the way, the packets are sent from the server (x.x.x.189) to the
client interfaces (x.x.x.74) and (x.x.x.216) with the following
pattern (which is a non-bursty 128-bit approximation of scheduling
with a 600:400 ratio over primary path 0 and secondary path 1):

0010010100101001010010100101001010010100101001010010100101001010
0101001010010100101001010010100101001010010100101001010010100101

Greetings,
Dominik
