Phones tend to jump from WLAN to 3G or back every three minutes, which
|
|
makes any protocol based on long-lived TCP connections philosophically
|
|
difficult. Possible to implement, of course, but difficult to do in a way
|
|
that fits well with the design choices that led to it being based on
|
|
long-lived connections.
