SCTP

This is a pretty awesome looking protocol-- sort of like a TCP/UDP frankenstein with what they call "mult-homing" and "multi-streaming" and a couple of other goodies

that does look awesome. their example of seamlessly switching between an 802.11 and an ethernet connection is particularly apropos.

sctp is great -- i've started using it in applications this year, where applicable. the linux implementation is stable; the iptables surrounding it, however, not so much. as of 2.6.21, though, things are pretty much shored up. watch out when interfacing with boxes running sctp+iptables on anything between 2.6.16 and 2.6.20 -- bugs may well be the kernel's.
