Compute platform based ap switching

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a compute platform causes the compute platform to:

• route user application internet traffic between the compute platform and an internet through a first access point in a first connection;
• send response request messages through the first connection to a first response agent on the internet to receive from the first response agent response messages to confirm that the first connection is valid;
• send response request messages through an alternate access point in a second connection to a second response agent on the internet to receive from the second response agent response messages to confirm that the second connection is valid;
• and
• route the internet traffic through the alternate access point in response to determining the first connection failed and determining the second connection is valid.

A compute platform apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• a wireless device coupled to the processor to provide the compute platform with wireless access to an internet;
• and
• a memory including instructions that when executed by the processor:
• routes user application internet traffic between the compute platform and the internet through a first access point in a first connection,
• sends response request messages through the first access point and the internet to an alternate access point to receive from the alternate access point response messages to determine if the first connection fails, and
• routes the internet traffic through the alternate access point in response to determining the first connection failed and determining a second connection to the internet through the alternate access point is valid.
