Oops, forgot to add: And there are a lot of sources of unreachability that are 
not visible directly to the device, so SystemConfiguration can’t notify about 
them being resolved. For example, an intermediate router going up/down, a 
remote link failure, a DNS server being updated. If you want the program to be 
able to connect without explicit user intervention, it does need to poll.
