Description Pierre Ossman cendio 2022-09-28 15:54:08 CEST
Laptop users can often be moving between a wired network connection (usually a dock) and a wireless network connection. Unfortunately, this switch typically doesn't happen seamlessly with ThinLinc, as TCP connections cannot be preserved. It would be nice if ThinLinc could resume the connection with little to no user interaction.

For reference, RDP can do this by constantly providing the client with a temporary "cookie" that can be used for restoring temporary network outages.
