Description: Make network sockets reliable in a transparent way
Rocks protect sockets-based applications from network failures, particularly
failures common to mobile computing, including:
.
- Link failures (e.g., unexpected modem disconnection);
- IP address changes (e.g., laptop movement, DHCP lease expiry);
- Extended periods of disconnection (e.g., laptop suspension).
.
Rock-enabled programs continue to run after any of these events; their broken
connections recover automatically, without loss of in-flight data, when
connectivity returns. Rocks work transparently with most applications,
including SSH clients, X window applications, and network service daemons.
