Add enhanced configuration templates for adaptive I/O features
- Introduced a comprehensive configuration template (config-adaptive.toml) for adaptive I/O, enabling improved upload/download dual stack with various performance optimizations, security settings, and network resilience features. - Created a test configuration template (test-config.toml) mirroring the adaptive configuration for testing purposes. - Added a simple test configuration (test-simple-config.toml) for basic adaptive features testing with essential parameters. - Included an empty Jupyter notebook (xep0363_analysis.ipynb) for future analysis related to XEP-0363.

# Multi-Interface Network Switching Integration - Complete
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration Summary
|
||||
|
||||
The HMAC file server now includes comprehensive multi-interface network switching capabilities, seamlessly integrated with the adaptive I/O system. This enables uploads to work reliably across any device with multiple network adapters (WiFi, Ethernet, LTE, cellular).
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Features Integrated
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. **Multi-Interface Manager** ✅
|
||||
- **Automatic Interface Discovery**: Detects eth0, wlan0, wwan0, ppp0, etc.
|
||||
- **Real-time Quality Monitoring**: RTT, packet loss, stability tracking
|
||||
- **Priority-based Selection**: Configurable interface preference order
|
||||
- **Seamless Switching**: Automatic failover with minimal interruption
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. **Network-Aware Optimization** ✅
|
||||
- **Interface-Specific Buffer Sizes**:
|
||||
- Ethernet: 512KB-1MB for high throughput
|
||||
- WiFi: 256-512KB for balanced performance
|
||||
- LTE: 128-256KB for mobile optimization
|
||||
- Cellular: 64-128KB for constrained networks
|
||||
- **Adaptive Chunk Sizing**: Dynamic adjustment based on connection type
|
||||
- **Quality-based Parameters**: RTT and stability influence buffer selection
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. **Session Continuity** ✅
|
||||
- **Upload Preservation**: Sessions survive interface switches
|
||||
- **Progress Tracking**: No data loss during network transitions
|
||||
- **Automatic Recovery**: Failed chunks retry on new interface
|
||||
- **Client Profiling**: Per-client interface performance history
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. **Intelligent Switching Logic** ✅
|
||||
- **Quality Degradation Detection**: Automatic switch when performance drops
|
||||
- **Threshold-based Switching**: Configurable latency/packet loss limits
|
||||
- **Hysteresis Prevention**: Avoids rapid interface oscillation
|
||||
- **Manual Override**: Configuration-based interface forcing
|
||||
|
||||

||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. **Enhanced Client Profiling**

#### 3. **Interface Switching Handling**
|
||||
```go
|
||||
func (se *StreamingEngine) handleInterfaceSwitch(
|
||||
oldInterface, newInterface string,
|
||||
reason SwitchReason,
|
||||
) {

## Real-World Scenarios Supported
|
||||
|
||||
### **Mobile Device Upload**
|
||||
1. **User starts upload on WiFi** → Uses 512KB buffers, 5MB chunks
|
||||
2. **Leaves WiFi range** → Automatically switches to LTE
|
||||
3. **LTE detected** → Reduces to 256KB buffers, 2MB chunks
|
||||
4. **Upload continues seamlessly** → No data loss or restart required
|
||||
|
||||
### **Enterprise Environment**
|
||||
1. **Server has Ethernet + WiFi + LTE** → Prefers Ethernet (priority 10)
|
||||
2. **Ethernet cable unplugged** → Switches to WiFi (priority 20)
|
||||
3. **WiFi becomes unstable** → Falls back to LTE backup (priority 30)
|
||||
4. **Network restored** → Returns to optimal interface automatically
|
||||
|
||||
### **Global Roaming**
|
||||
1. **International travel** → Local cellular network changes
|
||||
2. **New carrier detected** → Adapts buffer sizes for network quality
|
||||
3. **Hotel WiFi available** → Automatically prefers WiFi over cellular
|
||||
4. **Performance optimized** → Interface history improves over time
