I don't see how a transition like than can be seamless when I, for instance, have an SSH or FTP session.  The ssh/ftp server would most definitely disconnect from the client, if the client changes its IP address.

Or am I totally wrong?

I once read something about combining multiple independent network interfaces (each with its own IP address) to make single requests, but it sounded rather complicated IIRC.
