Sorry, I am a non-native English speaker and I have encountered an issue where switching networks causes devices to be invisible for about 5 minutes on the same zerotier network
Prerequisite:
- Self built planet node
- One Windows and one Mac; At the beginning, when connecting to the same WiFi device, they can ping each other. However, when either device switches to a mobile hotspot, the other device cannot ping this device for about 5 minutes
Version: Both computers are using version 1.14.0
Try:
- Referring to other posts, I used multi-path active backup, but I found that switching from a hotspot to a wifi device was quick and there was no change when switching from wifi to a hotspot
Throughout the process, I found that the devices connected to the phone hotspot were always in relay mode, but switching to the same WiFi was always in direct mode. - Within 5 minutes after switching networks, it was discovered on the web UI management interface that the node switching networks has multiple paths with old WiFi public IP and new hotspot public IP displayed inside. However, only when the path becomes a separate hotspot public IP can the devices be pinged.
Doubt:
Is the delay in switching networks due to the relay mode only taking about 5 minutes
Is there a relationship between the change of path and latency in peers (because the device can ping immediately after the path becomes a single path)
