Fwiw, Iım considering a network information api which is based on network
interfaces.
interface NetworkAdapter {
string uuid;
bool connected;
string[] localaddresses;
string[] gateways;
/* possibly exposing dns server information */
}
With a notice going out for each up/down of each interface.
When I take my phone and it switches from only having cellular to having
cellular + wifi, Iıd get a notification for the new adapter, that
notification is a hint that routing may have changed and performance
characteristics may be different.
For BlackBerry devices, there is a third network which can easily go
up/down which is the Work network (itıs roughly a VPN), and then thereıs
also a normal VPN connection available each would notify (but only if
theyıre available to the given application the Work network may or may
not be exposed to non Work applications at the user/adminıs discretion).
I havenıt started prototyping this, but I believe that in theory this
covers all the actual use cases I can imagine.
When routing changes, itıs quite likely that performance characteristics
will change.
