thankfully Windows does not do this. if i set interface metrics manually, and a lower metric interface becomes connected, all external traffic will immediately go through the new interface. Likewise, if i switch between wifi and cellular on an android device, all existing connections stop and must be refreshed. to wit, on both windows and android, youtube videos will continue to play, but things like HN or reddit will stop loading until whichever connection takes precedence comes fully up. I would argue that's the only "sane" way to do it, but then again i'm no network engineer. I just rely on my devices to work this way so i don't saturate the wrong links or get poor upload speeds when i need them.
