Abstract

Currently the interface selection in multi-interface environment is exclusive - only one interface can be used at the time, frequently needing manual intervention. Happy Eyeballs in MIF would make the selection process smoother by using the connectivity checks over a pre-filtered interfaces according to defined policy. This would choose "best" interface with an automatic fallback.
