Method for establishing a multi-link access between a local network and a remote network, and corresponding multi-link modem

摘要

The method involves opening two connections between a modem connected to a local area network and a remote network. A communication tunnel between the modem and a gateway using the connection and connected to the remote network, is established for each connection. A selection of the tunnel to handle digital data packets in transparent manner for applications using multi-line connections, is made for each data packet exchanged between the networks by the modem and the gateway. An independent claim is also included for a device for communicating between a local area network and a emote network.
