The ICd tracks the applications requesting IAPs by recording their D-Bus base service names. This allows the ICd to detect situations where processes using an IAP have aborted or crashed.

Maemo version 3.0 introduced the automatic connection creation feature in the Internet Connectivity Daemon. In other words, the device tries to connect automatically to the saved IAPs, and keep connected as long as possible. With this feature, applications like e-mail and RSS reader are always up to date. The device is also always ready for online use, for example, incoming VoIP calls or IM chat. In earlier versions, the Internet connection was automatically closed if no application was using it or when the connection was idle for the period of time defined by the idle timeout configuration parameter.

Maemo version 3.0 introduced the automatic connection creation feature in the Internet Connectivity Daemon. In other words, the device tries to connect automatically to the saved IAPs, and keep connected as long as possible, unless the idle timeout is set. With this feature, applications like e-mail and RSS reader are always up to date. The device is also always ready for online use, for example, incoming VoIP calls or IM chat. In earlier versions, the Internet connection was automatically closed if no application was using it or when the connection was idle for the period of time defined by the idle timeout configuration parameter.
When the device is not connected, it scans for saved IAPs and tries to connect automatically, taking into account the value defined by the search interval configuration parameter. The search interval can be 5, 10, 30 or 60 minutes; all other values are automatically mapped to "Never". This setup switches off the automatic connection feature. In this case, the device behaves just like the former versions: Connections are created only when applications require it.
