Hot swapping technology combined with pervasive heterogeneous networks empowers mobile laptop users to select the best network device for their current environment. Unfortunately, the majority of systemsoftwareremains'%ustomized"foraparticularnehvorkconfiguration, and assumes that many characteristics associated with the network environment remain invariant over the runtime of the software. Mobility causes changes in the environment and nullifies many of these assumptions. This leads to severeloss in system functionality when resources are lost, and failure to benefit when resources are gained.
