NETWORK DEVICE INTERFACE FOR SUPPORTING A PLURALITY OF NETWORK INTERFACE CARDS

摘要

A network device interface configured for communication over a plurality of wireless networks is provided. The network device interface includes a first physical network interface card (NIC) configured to allow communication over a first type of wireless communication protocol; a second physical network interface card (NIC) configured to allow communication over a second type of wireless communication protocol, wherein the first and second communication protocols are different; at least a first miniport driver connected to the first physical NIC; at least a second miniport driver connected to the second physical NIC; a multiplexer (MUX) filter driver connected to the first miniport and the second miniport and configured to multiplex between the first miniport and the second miniport for at least switching sessions between the first physical NIC and the second physical NIC; and at least one network light weight filter (LWF) driver connected to the MUX filter driver.
