If my phone call breaks for 30 seconds, I will cut the call, curse phone operator to deepest pit of hell, try to recall, fail, and perhaps iterate this 2-3 times during the 30 seconds. I am not sure why this would be acceptable on IP based service. >> I tried the same procedure with Facetime audio, and it disconnected the call >> after 10 seconds and didn't try to establish it again until I manually did >> something. > I think FaceTime audio doesn't reconnect while FaceTime video does, but I'm > not connected to the team that does that software so I'm not 100% sure... > Regardless, that is just a marketing/HI decision, not a technical one. Sounds very strange if marketing/HI makes technical decisions that should not be visible to the user (except in the negative case like this one). That explains why my Mac Pro behaves so badly though. >> Mosh fixes this with a 1-2 second outage. > Good for Mosh. I am even more curious about mp-mosh[1], is there any outage with it at all?
