Address Space Mapping for Managing Alternative Networks for High Quality of Service Communications

摘要

Methods and systems are provided. Exemplary methods may include: providing a first data packet to a first interface, the first data packet including a first address and being received from a computing device, the computing device being at a premises and coupled to a third interface, the first interface coupled to a first broadband connection received at the premises, the first broadband connection being coupled to a service using a first data network; determining at least one second data packet to be received at the first interface from the service is lost or delayed; supplying a second address to the computing device for communications with the service, in response to the determining; receiving from the computing device a third data packet including the second address; modifying the third data packet including replacing the second address with the first address; and giving the modified third data packet to a second interface.

1. A method for managing alternative networks comprising:
receiving a first predetermined range of addresses including a first address; receiving a second predetermined range of addresses including a second address; providing a first data packet to a first interface, the first data packet including the first address and being received from the computing device, the first interface coupled to a first broadband connection received at a premises, the first broadband connection being coupled to a service outside the premises using a first data network; receiving from a computing device a second data packet including the second address using a third interface, the third interface coupled to a computing device at the premises; modifying the second data packet including replacing the second address with the first address; sending the modified second data packet to a second interface, the second interface coupled to a second broadband connection received at the premises, the second broadband connection being coupled to the service outside the premises using a second data network and being different from the first broadband connection; receiving from the service a third data packet including the first address; modifying the third data packet including replacing the first address with the second address when the third data packet is received from the second interface; and giving the modified second data packet to the third interface.
