METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR TRANSMITTING PACKETS THROUGH AGGREGATED END-TO-END CONNECTION

摘要

A method carried out by a first communications router for transmitting data packets to a second communications router by establishing an aggregated end-to-end connection with the second communications router. The aggregated end-to-end connection comprises a plurality of established end-to-end connections which are classified into a first group and at least one non-first group of established end-to-end connection(s). The first group of established end-to-end connection(s) satisfy all of one or more conditions and the at least one non-first group of established end-to-end connection(s) do not satisfy all of the one or more conditions. Data packets are transmitted through the first group of established end-to-end connection(s) and the at least one non-first group of established end-to-end connection(s), although, it is preferred to transmit data packets through the first group of established end-to-end connection(s). The present invention further comprises a method and system for determining whether each of the established end-to-end connections of an aggregated end-to-end connection belongs to a first group of established end-to-end connection(s) or at least one non-first group of established end-to-end connection(s) and determining whether data packets are first type data packets. The first type data packets are transmitted through the first group of established end-to-end connection(s).

1. A method for transmitting data packets by a first communications router to a second communications router, comprising:
establishing an aggregated end-to-end connection with the second communications router, wherein the aggregated end-to-end connection comprising a plurality of established end-to-end connections; classifying the plurality of established end-to-end connections into a first group and at least one non-first group of established end-to-end connection(s), wherein the first group of established end-to-end connection(s) satisfy all of one or more conditions and wherein the at least one non-first group of established end-to-end connection(s) do not satisfy all of the one or more conditions; transmitting data packets through the aggregated end-to-end connection by transmitting the data packets through the first group of established end-to-end connection(s) and the at least one non-first group of established end-to-end connection(s), wherein the first group of established end-to-end connection(s) are preferred for transmitting the data packets.
