  • Method and system for integration of several physical media for data communications between two computing systems in a manner transparent to layer #3 and above of the ISO OSI model
    Patent number: 6377992
    Abstract: A method and apparatus implements bi-directional communications using the same or different physical media linking any two computing systems, nodes, employing routable protocols such as TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, etc., connected to a common network, allowing bi-directional communication between them. One of the physical media preferably has a wider bandwidth in one direction than another one of the physical media operating in the other direction. The present invention also provides for optimizing traffic between any two nodes by appropriately selecting communication paths based on either bandwidth or costs. Communication between any two nodes can be split between several different physical or logical paths to either increase the effective transmission bandwidth or to provide communication redundancy.
