It's better than that. All IP stacks will, (should:), route all packets
appropriately. Whether at connect time, or during a post-connection
streamed transfer, a link going down, and so forcing a change of routing for
the packets associated with your connenction, should happen transparently to
the client/server, (mod any delay changes).

Well IP routing is quite complex but, esssentially, yes, something like this
should happen, given that the target IP could be reachable through both
links.

Well, which link is tried first depends on the data in the routing tables.
