1. A communication controller comprising:
a determiner circuit to determine, for each communication connection of a set of communication connections between a communication device and another communication device, priorities of the communication connections based on a network policy provided to the communication controller from a network, the network policy to provide an indication of a preferred usage of one or more radio access technologies (RATs) associated with the set of communication connections; a selector circuit to select a plurality of the communication connections based on the priorities of the communication connections, the selected plurality of communication connections associated with a respective plurality of RATs; and a controller circuit to control a transmission of data between the communication device and the other communication device to use the selected plurality of communication connections, wherein said control of the transmission is to provide simultaneous data transmission over the selected plurality of communication connections, wherein the communication device is a communication terminal located in an IP subnet and the communication controller is to determine a port and an IP address for reaching the communication terminal via the communication connections.
