  • "_User 1 is connected to a TCP/IP server..._: There is no such thing as a server to IP or TCP, so the idea of a TCP/IP server is not realistic. Clients and servers are an application concept. – Ron Maupin Nov 21 '16 at 02:56
  • Here I mean the connection is TCP connection between client and server. – NecessaryDevil Nov 21 '16 at 03:14

    TCP doesn't have connections between clients and servers. TCP connects peers. – Ron Maupin Nov 21 '16 at 03:15

  1. Provided the interruption is short, your connection will survive because you'll keep your IP address. The interruption includes time for access points and router to update ARP tables. If this happens quickly enough, the TCP protocol won't notice.

  2. Your connection will die, because you'll have a new IP address after the switch.
