Abstract: According to an aspect of the disclosure, the disclosure is directed to a wireless communication apparatus on a vehicle. The wireless communication the apparatus includes (not limited to): first wireless transceiver configured to transmit and receive data on a first communication path; a second wireless transceiver configured to transmit and receive data on a second communication path; and a processor electrically connected to the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless transceiver and configured at least to: establish, as a default mean of communication, multiple communication paths; transmit by the first wireless transceiver, as the default mean of communication, a first data packet to the network located outside of the vehicle on a first communication path; and transmit by the second wireless transceiver, as the default mean of communication, a first duplicated data packet of the first data packet to the network on a second communication path.

Abstract: Method and system for providing a PPP-Bridge operating mode in a data communication system is disclosed. Upon receiving a PPP connect request from a user terminal at the LAN interface in a dial-up mode of application, or through the use of pre-configuration in a leased-line mode of application, the access device establishes a PPP session with a remote PPP server via its WAN interface. Once the PPP session is established, the access device receives a public IP address from the remote PPP server and relays the received IP address via DHCP to the corresponding user terminal. To the data network, it appears as though the user terminal is operating with the public IP address from the remote PPP server, even though the PPP session is established between the access device and the remote PPP server. This method and system supports multiple PPP sessions through the use of user profiles stored on the access device.

Abstract: Network traffic from a central device across a communication link to a remote device is controlled based upon central traffic management resources in the central device. The central traffic management resources are coupled to a communication link and monitor data packets received across the communication link to learn characteristics of the remote network. Based on the learned characteristics, traffic management messages are generated in the central traffic management resources. These messages are forwarded to an interface device on the remote network, where traffic on the communication link is controlled in response to the traffic management messages. Thus, the remote interface is configured automatically by central traffic management resources running in the central device without human intervention at the remote network. The traffic management messages manage traffic across a communication link of two types.
