Methods and systems for providing redundancy in data network communications

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having stored thereon executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to at least:

• monitor data traffic on a first network channel used for the data communication between the two or more host systems to obtain one or more attributes associated with the data traffic;
• detect one or more anomalies associated with the one or more attributes;
• determine whether the one or more anomalies are indicative of an imminent or current event or condition;
• and
• in response to a determination that the one or more anomalies are indicative of the event or condition, select a second network channel for the data communication between the two or more host systems.

A computer system for providing data communication between two or more host systems, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory, including instructions executable by the one or more processors to cause the computer system to at least:
• monitor data traffic on a first network channel used for the data communication between the two or more host systems to obtain one or more attributes associated with the data traffic;
• detect one or more anomalies associated with the one or more attributes;
• determine whether the one or more anomalies are indicative of an event or condition;
• and
• in response to a determination that the one or more anomalies are indicative of the event or condition, select a second network channel for the data communication between the two or more host systems.
