Abstract
A method includes establishing, by a processing device of a first device, a first connection with a second device. The first connection including a first connection type. The method includes detecting a network change event. The network change event including a change in connection status of at least one of the first connection type or a second connection type. The method includes determining an available connection type having a highest rank responsive to detecting the network change event. In response to a determination that the available connection type having the highest rank is the second connection type or a third connection type, the method includes establishing a second connection with the second device. The second connection including the available connection type having the highest rank. The method includes communicating with the second device using the available connection type having the highest rank via the second connection.
