Channel Bonding With Multiple Network Types

摘要

Different data communication architectures deliver a wide variety of content, including audio and video content, to consumers. The architectures employ channel bonding to deliver more bandwidth than any single communication channel can carry. In some implementations, different network types may be channel bonded to function as a single logical channel.

1. A system comprising:
an input interface; output interfaces to individual communication channels, wherein the individual communication channels comprise different network types; and processor in communication with the input interface and the output interfaces, the processor configured to:
determine which of the communications channels to employ together as a bonded channel group;obtain source data from the input interface; anddistribute the source data across the communication channels in the bonded channel group to the different network types in response to a data type of the source data.
