Media exchange network supporting multiple broadband network and service provider infrastructures

A method for communicating information, the method comprising:

• establishing a logical communication path that is independent of a physical communication path that couples at least two end points via at least a first broadband network wherein at least a first portion of said logical communication path and at least a second portion of said logical communication path utilize different communication protocols, and wherein both of said physical and logical communication paths are established through the same plurality of network nodes;
• and
• transferring information that would be normally transferred over said physical communication path between said at least two endpoints via said established logical communication path over said corresponding redundant network connection.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, a computer program having at least one code section for communicating information, the at least one code section being executable by a computer for causing the computer to perform steps comprising:

• establishing a logical communication path that is independent of a physical communication path that couples at least two end points via at least a first broadband network, wherein at least a first portion of said logical communication path and at least a second portion of said logical communication path utilize different communication protocols, and wherein both of said physical and logical communication paths are established through the same plurality of network nodes;
• and
• transferring information that would be normally transferred over said physical communication path between said at least two endpoints, via said established logical communication path over said corresponding redundant network connection.

A system for communicating information, the system comprising:

• at least one processor operable to establish a logical communication path that is independent of a physical communication path that couples at least two end points via at least a first broadband network, wherein at least a first portion of said logical communication path and at least a second portion of said logical communication path utilize different communication protocols, and wherein both of said physical and logical communication paths are established through the same plurality of network nodes;
• and
• said at least one processor is operable to transfer information that would be normally transferred over said physical communication path between said at least two endpoints, via said established logical communication path over said corresponding redundant network connection.
