why "dispatch" name?

[necenzurat]

connectify has the exact same name for their application

[nitrix]

Well "dispatch" is a procedure in logistic.

You will see that name all over the place, particularly in programming. It's not surprising, it kind of make sense here, but I expected a better name as well. Even if it's replaced by something that means nothing but is still pronounceable.

That's up to the author though.

I'm very bad at naming things. If you have a better idea, I'll take any suggestion.

[necenzurat]

+1 for threeway

[alexkirsz]

I'd rather have something SFW.

equilibrium multinet netmix

(but I don't really mind the current one)

[jpcanepa]

Well, you are doing something akin to "bonding" interfaces, so you could just call it Bond. Or James. Bonus points if the command is called james and the argument is bond.

[necenzurat]

• super massive black hole or maybe just black hole
• goldeneye ( @jpcanepa nobody likes bond)
• WiFi, Ethernet, Mobile = WEM or MEW or meow (Mobile Ethernet Or WiFi)
• LINT
• ...

[nitrix]

I like Meow, but I might be biased :3

[exalted]

Meow is not gonna be enough when another type of connection will jump on board in the future. I would suggested you don't go that road.

Let's accept suggestions for a few more days then we could link to a poll.

[tomByrer]

something with multuplexing ...

This is a more clear description: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplexing

multiplexing (...muxing) is a method by which multiple analogue message signals or digital data streams are combined into one signal over a shared medium

I know this is old, but I don't see it that the name has been changed.. so.. I like what @tomBryer said about multiplexing. Also, I wanted to mention that I found this awesome bit of software by accident, while looking for something else. Although I understand what a proxy is and how it relates to the app, I wouldn't think of it in this sense. The name should be descriptive (not 'Microsoft descriptive', using 4-5 words..) :-P but, having net[work] [multi][plex][er] in the name would describe it perfectly for someone looking for it (who knows what they are looking for and/or understands some basic terminology).. just my two cents..

[kodybrown]

Also, this app doesn't come to mind when I hear 'load balancer'.. in a way, that's what it is doing.. but, I think most people looking for something like this will think of the server end of things when they hear that term.. just my third cent.. cool product! I think I'll play with the code now..
