It might help to understand this client context better, why/how did the
client get into such a state...before getting too far into the solution
space. For all you know the reason for this client state (context) could
just be a not so good implementation as opposed to a more germane design
requirement.
If clients don't get information in a proactive manner and plan for
vertical handovers..., any amount of delay sensitivity built into
transport may not be good enough to rescue the connection under adverse
situations. Also even if the use cases and requirements are quite
relevant, just a delay sensitive transport may not be good enough to
rescue such cases....
That said, in general the transport should work well for most normal
cases. If there is a delay sensitive option in transport that comes for
free I can easily see clients abusing it and using it as a default
anyway....
