  • Method for dynamically tunneling over an unreliable protocol or a reliable protocol, based on network conditions
    Patent number: 7716731
    Abstract: A method, and computer program product for providing dynamically tunneling over an unreliable protocol or a reliable protocol based on network conditions is presented. A connection between a source device and a destination device is established using a reliable protocol. An attempt is then made to utilize an unreliable protocol to communicate between the source device and the destination device. When the attempt to utilize an unreliable protocol is successful, then the unreliable protocol is used to transmit data between the source device and the destination device. When the attempt to utilize the unreliable protocol is unsuccessful, then the reliable protocol connection is used to transmit data between the source device and the destination device.
