Claim 11:
12. The system of claim 11, wherein:
the controller selects the location of one or more brokers based on a predictive algorithm so as to optimize one or more of network throughput, latency or traffic quality, and
for each connection between a pair of nodes and given a vector including the connection quality, nodes' locations, network carriers, communications protocol, and time of day:
a particular node of the pair of nodes periodically requests connection options from the controller;
the controller responds to the particular node with one or more broker candidate sets and communication modes;
the particular node concurrently tests connection quality traversing candidate set brokers in response to one or more communication modes to select a best set of brokers;
the particular node forwards subsequent packets through the selected broker set; and
the particular node communicates the broker set selection back to the controller, wherein the broker candidate sets are generated by the controller based on a predictive model that is refined based on the selection of broker sets selection by the particular node.
