JXTA vision is to abstract the Internet into a multitude
of user's defined virtual p2p network overlays allowing
Java applications to transparently roam from multiple
network locations or connectivities while still remaining
*virtually* connected.

The latest JXTA application proXimio from Fabrice
Dimeglio is demonstrating this new dimension in Java
network programming. Wherever your are moving
(behind NAT, firewall, or switching to a new network
connectivity) your JXTA applications will continue to
work. JXTA under the cover manages the dynamic mapping
from JXTA virtual addresses to physical IP addresses,
and will select the best transport link
available for your application.

Here is a sample chat exchange on Fabrice's proXimio
JXTA application:

so the test case i'm thinking of - 0. connect using wifi
1. connect network cable 2. turn off wifi 3. check to
see if proximio is still connected to the network

Shell demo JXTA applications.
