By default, network interfaces changes are propagated in the form of locators to other applications. This is done to support IP mobility scenarios.

For example, the user could start a RTI Connext application with Wi-Fi and move to a wired connection. In order to continue communicating with other applications this interface change has to be propagated.

In RTI Connext 5.2 GAR and earlier versions of the product, IP mobility scenarios were not supported. 5.2 GAR applications will report errors if they detect locator changes in a DataWriter or DataReader.

The user can disable the notification and propagation of interface changes by setting this property to 1.

This way, an interface change in a newer application will not trigger errors in an application running 5.2 GAR or earlier. Of course, this will prevent the new application from been able to detect network interface changes.
