AUTOMATIC NETWORK CONNECTION RECOVERY IN THE PRESENCE OF MULTIPLE NETWORK INTERFACES

摘要

The disclosure enhances user experience associated with recovering network connectivity after connection failure. An acknowledgement failure is detected for a connection using a first route over a first network interface. When a path of the connection is found to be unreachable, a second route is identified as an alternative to the first route. When the second route is over the first network interface, the connection is moved to the second route. However, when the second route is over a second network interface, the connection is transitioned to the second route over the second network interface. The first route is marked dead when unreachable and moved paths of the first route exceed a threshold based on the total paths of the route. Identifying alternative routes and transitioning connections to routes on different network interfaces provides an efficient, improved user experience when recovering network connectivity.
