ProgMP page showing I'm not using MPTCP even when I'm using it

Question

I'm started exploring MPTCP recently and started using it on my Ubuntu 18.04. My MPTCP version is 0.95. curl http://multipath-tcp.org on my terminal is returning Yay, you are MPTCP-capable! You can now rest in peace. I further checked it on http://amiusingmptcp.de/ which is telling me I'm using MPTCP. Now I want to write my own default scheduler. So I clicked on appropriate link on http://amiusingmptcp.de/ page which took me to http://progmp.net/progmp.html page. In this page it is showing that I'm not using MPTCP connection so the demo page is showing limited features. I have attached the relevant screenshots. Can someone please tell me how to make my own scheduler? Thanks

It seems that you must be on multiple interface to do so. Also, for the local machine based setup without internet (local network only) you can install the progmp kernel onto your own machine.

In order to do so in your terminal,

wget -c http://progmp.net/tools/linux-image-4.1.20-ProgMp.deb
# then 
sudo dpkg -i linux-image-4.1.20-ProgMp.deb
to install the kernel

After that boot into grub menu and select the progMP kernel. the uname -a should prompt kernel version 4.1.20. Now for writing your own scheduler you can download the example code from progmp.net site and use the python script to add it to the system. here is the further documentation in order to proceed, along with detailed steps: http://progmp.net/
