Abstract

In this poster we describe initial findings regarding Internet usage characteristics, in particular TCP flows from a field study with 27 iPhone 3GS users. We present details regarding their usage characteristics, and provide a solution for migrating flows between different networks and/or network interfaces without requiring infrastructure support or changes to current applications and protocols, with minimal impact to the user.
