The IETF was well aware of sctp. However, mptcp has better performance and is more resilient to certain path issues, in at least some use cases, and importantly can be transparent to applications (you don't have to rewrite everything).
sctp is pretty much transparent, you only need to open the socket with a different protocol id. I suppose mptcp is the same?
It can also do away with TCP's "head-of-line-blocking" and has a SOCK_SEQPACKET mode (but that's when things need special care compared to normal streams). (SEQPACKET is typically used with Unix-sockets, so thats a nice replacement if you want to route packets)

Speedtest over cable gives ~252 Mbit/s, speedtest over my 5 GHz wifi gets around 160 Mbit/s
Does this make so I can use one 5 GHz and one 2.4 GHz adapter in my computer for better wifi performance?
Does router need the support for it too?
