Abstract

A method for network termination device aggregation includes (i) provisioning a first network termination device at a subscriber’s location to use first communication resources of an access communication network, (ii) provisioning a second network termination device at the subscriber's location to use second communication resources of the access communication network, (iii) transmitting first data between a provider link aggregation element and a subscriber link aggregation element via a first logical network link including the first network termination device, and (iv) transmitting second data between the provider link aggregation element and the subscriber link aggregation element via a second logical network link including the second network termination device.

Dependent claims

A method for network termination device aggregation, the method comprising:

provisioning a first network termination device at a subscriber’s location to use first communication resources of an access communication network;
provisioning a second network termination device at the subscriber's location to use second communication resources of the access communication network, the second communication resources of the access communication network being different from the first communication resources of the access communication network;
at a provider link aggregation element, splitting downlink communication traffic destined for the subscriber’s location into at least a first downlink data flow and a second downlink data flow;
transmitting the first downlink data flow to a subscriber link aggregation element via a first logical network link, the first logical network link including the first network termination device and communicatively coupling the subscriber link aggregation element with the provider link aggregation element;
and
transmitting the second downlink data flow to the subscriber link aggregation element via a second logical network link, the second logical network link including the second network termination device and communicatively coupling the subscriber link aggregation element with the provider link aggregation element.
