Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, determining, by a wireless router or a wireless access point (WAP) associated with a fixed network connection, that a network condition is satisfied, based on the determining that the network condition is satisfied, detecting for available networks operating in licensed spectrum and available networks operating in unlicensed spectrum, responsive to the detecting, identifying a first available network operating in licensed spectrum and a second available network operating in unlicensed spectrum, and aggregating, in one or more link aggregation groups, a first connection established with the first available network and a second connection established with the second available network, thereby augmenting a network capacity of the fixed network connection. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and apparatus for changing a quality of service for data packets that are delivered over-the-top are disclosed. For example, the method includes a processor that identifies the data packets as video data packets that are delivered over-the-top in a communication network, changes the quality of service associated with the data packets from a best effort quality of service level to a higher priority quality of service level, monitors the data packets until no video data packet is identified in the data packets and changes the quality of service associated with the data packets back to the best effort quality of service level from the higher priority quality of service level.

Abstract: A mainshaft assembly for a gearbox and a gearbox embodying such a mainshaft assembly are disclosed. The mainshaft assembly comprises a mainshaft, and several drive gears, each carried for rotation about the mainshaft, each drive gear having a different number of teeth. The assembly includes first and a second hub, each being associated with a respective drive gear, each hub having a dog ring operable to selectively couple with the drive gear causing it to rotate with the hub or uncouple from the drive gear to allow the drive gear to rotate with respect to the hub. A respective drive connection means comprising a cage and rollers is associated with each hub and is operative to connect or disconnect the hub to the mainshaft for rotation with it or to allow rotation with respect to it.
