It balances evenly, even with UDP traffic based on my testing.

I recently tried OpenMPTCPRouter on 2x Starlink dishes, and even with the
6.1 dev kernel and upstream MPTCP had some really wonky issues, presumably
caused by the loss and/or latency fluctuations. I'd love it if someone
could sort this out...
