Abstract
A method to redirect data packets by a network controller to a network node. A network interface routes a data packet from the network node. Another network interface redirects the data packet from the network node. A switch selects between the two network interfaces based upon the state of the network node.
Claims29
A method comprising:
- providing a first network interface to route a data packet from a network node;
- providing a second network interface to redirect the data packet from the network node;
- and
- switching between the first network interface and the second network interface based on a state of the network node.
1 more element
A network controller comprising:
- a first network interface to route a data packet from a network node;
- a second network interface to redirect the data packet from the network node;
- and
- a controller to select between the first network interface and the second network interface based on a state of the network node.
1 more element
A machine-readable medium that provides instructions, which when executed by one or more processors, cause the processors to perform operations comprising:
- routing a data packet from a network node through a network by a first network interface;
- redirecting the data packet from the network node by a second network interface;
- and
- selecting between the routing and the redirecting of the data packet based upon a state of the network node.

A system comprising:
- a first network interface to route a data packet from a network node;
- a second network interface to redirect the data packet from the network node;
- a controller to select between the first network interface and the second network interface based on a state of the network node;
- and
- a substantially omni-directional antenna for coupling the first network interface and the second network interface to a network.
