Compatible channel bonding service management

A computer program product, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising code to perform steps comprising:
• receiving first service layer metadata from a first communication channel and second service layer metadata from a second communication channel;
• and
• determining a plurality of services available from the first communication channel and the second communication channel based, at least in part, on the first service layer metadata and the second service layer metadata, wherein at least one of the plurality of services is a multiple channel service that comprises data in a pooled set of the first communication channel and the second communication channel, and wherein the multiple channel service is identified by examining service layer metadata of the plurality of services for a first service from the first service layer metadata matching a second service from the second service layer metadata.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory and configured to perform steps comprising:
• receiving first service layer metadata from a first communication channel and second service layer metadata from a second communication channel;
• and
• determining a plurality of services available from the first communication channel and the second communication channel based, at least in part, on the first service layer metadata and the second service layer metadata, wherein at least one of the plurality of services is a multiple channel service that comprises data in a pooled set of the first communication channel and the second communication channel, and wherein the multiple channel service is identified by examining service layer metadata of the plurality of services for a first service from the first service layer metadata matching a second service from the second service layer metadata.
