Abstract
A method for switching between an individual computer's network interface technologies without interrupting any pending data transmissions on the existing network connection. The method include detecting when an existing network connection is no longer connected and if there are any available network connections on different network interface technologies. In addition, the method determines the address of the new connection and reassociates all existing data flow with the new network connection. Data is then routed to the new network connection whether it is on the same subnet or a different subnet.
