Abstract
A system, method and computer program product are disclosed for transmitting a datagram in a wireless multiplexing framework. A datagram destined to a destination in a network is received and a wireless connection is then selected from a set of wireless connections. The received datagram is then processed to associate an intermediary destination with the datagram. The datagram is subsequently transmitted to the associated intermediary destination via the selected wireless connection. From the associated intermediary destination, the datagram is then forwarded to the destination utilizing the network.
Claims20
A method for transmitting a datagram in a multiplexing framework, comprising:
- a) receiving a datagram destined to a destination in a network;
- b) selecting one connection from a set of connections;
- c) processing the datagram to associate an intermediary destination with the datagram;
- and
- d) transmitting the datagram to the associated intermediary destination via the selected connection, wherein the datagram is forwarded from the associated intermediary destination to the destination utilizing the network.
A computer program product for transmitting a datagram in a multiplexing framework, comprising:
- a) computer code for receiving a datagram destined to a destination in a network;
- b) computer code for selecting one connection from a set of connections;
- c) computer code for processing the datagram to associate an intermediary destination with the datagram;
- and
- d) computer code for transmitting the datagram to the associated intermediary destination via the selected connection, wherein the datagram is forwarded from the associated intermediary destination to the destination utilizing the network.
A system for transmitting a datagram in a multiplexing framework, comprising:
- a) a unit for receiving a datagram destined to a destination in a network;
- b) a set of connections connecting the unit to an intermediary destination between the unit and the destination in the network;
- c) the unit having logic for processing the datagram to associate the intermediary destination with the datagram, selecting one connection from the set of wireless, and transmitting the datagram to the intermediary destination via the selected connection;
- and
- d) the intermediary destination having logic for forwarding the datagram to the destination utilizing the network.
