Re: [DNA-BOF] Detecting Network Attachment BoF description (rev 2)

Dear Greg,

I'm assuming this is an INT Area BoF...

Do we think mobility=tunneling? If so, the impact of network attachment on
upper layer protocol sessions is substantially reduced, I think?

Would this BoF address selecting between interfaces when multiple network
attachments are active, or is this preference assumed to be static?
