METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR TRANSMITTING DATA THROUGH AN AGGREGATED CONNECTION

摘要

The present invention discloses methods and systems for transmitting data packets from a first communications router to a second communications router through an aggregated connection comprising a plurality of tunnels. The first communications router receives a first data packet belonging to a data session from a first host. The first communications router then transmits the first data packet to the second communications router and stores the first data packet in a local storage medium. The first communications router determines whether an error correction mode is activated. If an error correction mode is activated, the first communications router retransmits the first data packet and also transmits an error correction packet corresponding to the first data packet.

主权项

1. A method carried out at a first communications router for transmitting data packets to a second communications router through an aggregated connection comprising a plurality of tunnels, comprising the steps of:
(a) receiving a first data packet belonging to a data session from a first host through a local area network (LAN) interface, wherein the first data packet is destined to a second host reachable through the second communications router; (b) transmitting the first data packet to the second communications router through the aggregated connection; (c) storing the first data packet in a local storage medium; (d) determining whether an error correction mode is activated: and (e) if the error correction mode is activated:
(i) retransmitting the first data packet to the second communications router;(ii) transmitting an error correction packet corresponding to the first data packet.
