Abstract: A method and system for a first node to transmit packets to a second none, comprising receiving a packet from a local area network (LAN) interface, inspecting the packet; determining whether the packet satisfies at least one packet condition; transmitting the packet through a predefined tunnel if the packet satisfies the at least one packet condition; transmitting the packet through a second tunnel if the packet does not satisfy the at least one packet condition. The predefined tunnel is a first tunnel and is established before the packet is received by the first node. The second tunnel belongs to a first tunnel group or a second tunnel group. The first tunnel, the second tunnel and other tunnels may together form an aggregated connection. Further, the use of predefined tunnel may be based on whether the packets satisfy a session condition.

Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for sending and receiving IP packets between network nodes through a tunnel. The tunnel is created according to a session. When the IP packet is a first of the IP packets in sequence of a session, establish a tunnel and send the IP packet through the tunnel of the session. When the IP packet is not the first of the IP packets in sequence of a session, sending the IP packet through the tunnel of the session.

Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for communicating at a cellular router between a first wireless communication module and a first subscriber identity module (SIM). The cellular router receives a first request from a first wireless communication module and encapsulates the first request in a first modified request. The cellular router then sends the first modified request to a first SIM card in a first communication apparatus and waits for a first modified reply. While waiting for the first modified reply the cellular router sends at least one halt message to the first wireless communication module after a first time threshold. After receiving the first modified reply, the cellular router decapsulates the first modified reply to retrieve a first reply and sends the first reply to the first wireless communication module where the first modified reply is a reply to the first modified request.

Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for selecting at least one SIM card for data communication at a wireless communication device which is capable of housing a plurality of SIM cards. When a switching condition is satisfied, the wireless communication device selects a second SIM card group, and disconnects one or more connections established using any non-second group SIM card. Non-second group SIM cards are SIM cards that are not in the second SIM card group. A selected SIM card from the second SIM card group is then used for data communications. The steps are repeated until (i) the switching condition is no longer satisfied, (ii) no more SIM cards selected from the second SIM card group can be used for data communications or (iii) no more connection is made using non-second group SIM cards.

Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for providing UICC/eUICC related response information to information requests at a cellular router. The method includes receiving an information request from a wireless communication module, and determining whether a response to the information request is cached. When the response information is not cached, forwarding the information request to a massive SIM apparatus (MSA). MSA will then respond to the information request. A response based on the MSA's response will then be sent to the wireless communication module for the information request. When the response information is cached, retrieve the response information and send it to the wireless communication module.

Abstract: A method and system for transmitting and receiving data packets between two network nodes via one or more end-to-end connections. An interface is provided for selecting one or more possible end-to-end connection(s) or established end-to-end connection(s). The method and system may further comprise receiving a policy, wherein one or more selected end-to-end connections are established based, at least in part, on the policy. The policy may also restrict or promote selection of certain established end-to-end connection(s) via the interface provided. The selected and established end-to-end connection(s) are used for transmitting and receiving data packets.

Abstract: Described in example embodiments herein are methods and systems for implementing sending packets from a first network node to a second network node. Packets belonging to the same session may be sent through the same or different tunnels. The second network node processes packets belonging to the same session using the same core. In accordance with an example embodiment, the first network node informs the second network code the core to process the packets. Optionally, selection of core at the second network node is assisted by a core identity created by the first network based on the session. The core identity may be stored in the header or payload of the packets. In an example embodiment, the second network determines the core for processing packet belonging to the same session.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and systems for transmitting and receiving data packets between a first network node and a second network node through a bonded connection. At the first network node, a data packet, a session identification of the data packet and a time value of the data packet are encapsulated in an encapsulating packet. The first network node sends the encapsulating packet from the first network node to the second network node through the bonded connection. The second network node then stores the encapsulating packet after receiving it and determines an expiration time of the encapsulating packet. When the expiration time of the encapsulating packet expired, the second network node dequeues the encapsulating packet and forwards the data packet according to destination of the data packet.
