Networking bonding by a mobile communication device

A computer-implemented method for providing a first networking node in a first network access to a second network by a mobile communication device;

• wherein the mobile communication device is connected as a wireless client to both the first and second network;
• and wherein the method comprises the following steps:
• by a first gateway in the first network, extracting payload data and header information from a first data packet originating from the first networking node and addressed to a second networking node in the second network, and sending the extracted payload and header information as payload of a second data packet to the mobile communication device;
• and
• by the mobile communication device, receiving the second data packet, retrieving therefrom the extracted payload and header information, and sending the extracted payload and header information as payload of a third data packet to the second gateway;
• by the second gateway, receiving the third data packet, retrieving therefrom the first data packet and forwarding the first data packet further to the second networking node.
