[mif] MIF at the application level

[Marc Petit-Huguenin <[e-mail]>]

I read the 4 documents listed in the agenda for the MIF BOF, and I
am surprised to see very few discussion about the application
behavior in presence of multiple interfaces.  The documents talk
mostly about operating system configuration but, in the spirit of
the end to end argument, I do think that the final decision on what
network to choose (when there is a choice) should be made by the
application, with fallback to some automatic configuration when the
application is not smart enough to do this.  NICE
(draft-rosenberg-mmusic-ice-nonsip) is a very good example on how an
application can choose between different networks and perhaps this
draft, that does not seem to be maintained currently, could be part
of the deliverables of the future MIF WG.
