It's a problem that apps have, but they just shift it onto the user.

It's a problem that apps have, but they just shift it onto the user.
- tptacek 11y agoThat's a bit hard for me to fathom, because the overwhelming vast majority of users don't have multiple Internet connections, and serverside applications can make use of multiple Internet connections without protocol-level multihoming.
- signa11 11y ago> because the overwhelming vast majority of users don't have multiple Internet connections your shiny iphone/andriod etc. are all multihomed...
- 0xdeadbeefbabe 11y agoSo, the problem is not shifted onto the user?
- ay 11y agoCorrect, it's not. It's shifted on the application developer, who is the "user" of the network stack.
- ay 11y agoNext time you reconnect your SSH session after changing from one WiFi network to another one, consider that this is a degenerate case of multihoming.
- chetanahuja 11y agoummm.... mobile devices, though not truly multihomed (in the sense of using multiple NIC's simultaneously) approximate multihoming in a time-division sense.
