    Abstract: The described embodiments provide a system that controls the operating state of a network interface. During operation, in response to receiving a request from an application to use the network interface for a route, the system creates a route structure for the route and increments a route reference counter in an interface data structure for the network interface. Upon subsequently determining that the application is no longer using the route, the system sets a route expiration timer in the route structure to a predetermined expiration time. When the route expiration timer expires, the system deletes the route structure and decrements the route reference counter in the interface data structure. When decrementing the route reference counter in the interface data structure causes the route reference counter to be equal to zero, the system sends a signal to a configuration application to inform the application that the network interface can be idled.

    Abstract: An method, apparatus and machine readable medium are described for intelligently selecting a network interface. An attempt may be made to connect over a first network interface having the highest priority (e.g., WiFi). At the same time, a fallback timer is started. If the attempt to connect over the first network interface does not succeed within a designated timer threshold, then a parallel attempt is made to connect over a second network interface having a lower priority (e.g., cellular). The first network interface over which a connection is successfully made is then used. These techniques may be employed on a per-connection basis. Thus, a first process may successfully connect over the first network interface while a second process may be unsuccessful over the first network interface but may fall back to the second network interface.

    Abstract: The described embodiments include a system that configures a network interface. During operation, the system receives a signal from an operating system indicating that the network interface can be idled. The signal is sent from the operating system as soon as the operating system determines that a final route structure that depended on the network interface has expired and been deleted. The system then determines if an application has established a route that uses the network interface since the signal was sent from the operating system. If not, the system causes the network interface to be idled. Otherwise, the system leaves the network interface in a current operating state.

    Abstract: Internet protocol (IP) addresses are received from one or more domain name service (DNS) servers for accessing a remote host in response to a DNS query. The IP addresses are prioritized based on a list of preferred network interfaces associated with a plurality of networks. A network connection is established with the remote host using the most prioritized one of the IP addresses and a network protocol associated with the most prioritized IP address, where the most prioritized IP address is routable to reach the remote host over a network via the most preferred network interface.
