Vector routing-revised

A method for combining two or more diverse network paths in order to obtain higher data transfer rates and provide redundancy for network traffic between a local network and a larger external network (like the Internet) by probing multiple remote nodes through the two or more diverse network paths. These probes gather information which is then used by an algorithm to determine whether any of the paths are within the predetermined acceptable availability range. If the path is no longer within the acceptable range, the routing table of the computing device is change such that the non-acceptable path is removed, thus network traffic no longer uses such path. The IP address of the network interface card which is associated to the non-acceptable path is also set to an inactive state within the computing devices DNS responder daemon. If all paths are within the acceptable range traffic is equally divided between the paths.
