This invention provides a system, method and apparatus for managing congestion on heterogeneous network communication links, the first communication link and second communication link being heterogeneous with respect to each other. The system, method and apparatus including a routing decision module, the routing decision module evaluating a queue of information packets scheduled for transmission across the first communication link to determine whether to generate a command signal to route a portion of information packets over the second communication link. The system, method and apparatus may further include a communication link threshold module, the communication link threshold module storing threshold limit values corresponding to a first communication link technology of the first communication link.
A system for managing congestion on heterogeneous network communication links, a first communication link and a second communication link being heterogeneous with respect to each other, the system comprising:
The system of claim 9, wherein the first receiver is a digital subscriber line (“DSL”) modem and the second receiver is a WiMax terminal.
A method for managing congestion on heterogeneous network communication links, a first communication link and a second communication link being heterogeneous with respect to each other, the method comprising:
The method of claim 16, further including establishing a routing decision.
The method of claim 16, further including generating a command signal to notify a routing device to route a portion of information packets over the second communication link.
