A server knows its clients by address, so moving between Wi-Fi and mobile
data leaves the connection with nothing to do but time out. The process's
sockets are now bound to the network a connection was made over: on a
change, the goodbye still leaves through the old network while it lasts,
and the connection is made again over the new one, back into the channel
we were in. A drop because the network vanished counts as a change too.
A server still holding the old connection refuses the new one as a clone
until it times out, so attempts are retried with a growing pause; a ban
ends it, and so do five minutes without getting back on.
