Abstract
Techniques to select a network interface herein can be used with an application that is configured to send and receive data. These techniques include detecting an event indicative of a problem with network connectivity associated with a first network interface of the plurality of network interfaces in an application utilizing the first network interface; testing connectivity of each network interface of the plurality of network interfaces other than the first network interface to produce a set of candidate network interfaces; selecting a candidate network interface from the candidate network interfaces; and routing data for the application through the selected candidate network interface.
