A very interesting Request for Comment showed up on kde-core-devel. Waldo Bastian introduced the discussion by stating:
I have prepared some ideas for improving the general network experience, in particular for those use-cases where the internet connection is subject to availability (e.g. wireless or dial-up access)
He then went on to define dcop interfaces that would be used by network connecting and network using software. The goals are defined as:
A KDED Module that keeps track of the internet connection status and that provides DNS lookup service with intelligent support for round-robin DNS.
Design goals:
Design goals:
- Keeping track of online/offline status
- Prevent unneeded connection errors when the user is offline
- Make applications aware of online/offline status
- Improve dial-on-demand functionality to kick in only with user-initiated actions.
- Improve dial-on-demand functionality by [optionally] being aware of the local net topology and differentating between local addresses (always available) and internet addresses (availability subject to online/offline status)
- Improve handling of round-robin DNS by making sure that multiple requests are all send to the same IP. (KDE BR63088)
- Improve handling of multiple DNS records by being aware of connection failures to the primary IP and redirecting subsequent requests to a secondary IP.
The whole message, with the dcop interface definitions and more comments is at http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=110138106211623&w=2. Discussion ensued, with suggestions and questions.
Harri Porten asked how would a situation be handled where there are multiple ways to connect to the internet?
