TRANSPORT SELECTION FOR MULTI-TRANSPORT STRUCTURES

摘要

A system for automating connection management in a manner that may be transparent to any actively communicating applications operating in a Network on Terminal Architecture (NoTA). An application level entity may access another node by making a request to a high level communication structure via an interface. The high level structure may interact with a lower level structure configured to manage communication by establishing communication with another device via one or more transports. Selection of both the number of transports and/or a specific transport may be determined in view of various factors. These factors may pertain to a particular application operating on the device, the status of the device itself, the status of the one or more communication transports, etc. Factors may also be obtained from other linked devices.
