NETWORK-DISTRIBUTED DATA ROUTING

摘要

Data transfer over network (1050 is effected in a manner that facilitates the use of available communications channels and makes possible enhanced data routing control and transferred over a network having a plurality of communication links. A Home (e.g., data source) node (130) coupled to the network supplies data for transfer on the network. A network distributed routing controller (110) is implemented at a host server and at the home node, and is configured for controlling the home node for passing data on the network. A data request from a remote network access appliance (120), such as a laptop or mobile telephone, is received at the host server. In response to the request, the host server implements the network distributed routing controller to transfer data from a home node to the remote network access appliance.
