How about rapid shifts between cellular IP service and one or more wifi 
networks?

(We currently have lots of people getting NoSuchFlowExecutionException 
errors, because I forgot to add the manual changes to treat them as 
StaleRequest during our 3.3.0 upgrade; apart from opening links in 
Office, a large number of them seem to be caused by the client shifting 
IP addresses between requests, which prevents our load balancer from 
properly "stickying" them...)
