Claim 14:
15. A first network node associated with a first network, comprising:
processing circuitry and a memory, the memory comprising instructions executable by the processing circuitry whereby the processing circuitry is configured to:
contemporaneously route a first packet flow to a first access node associated with a first access network associated with a first internet service provider and a second packet flow to a second access node associated with a second access network associated with a second internet service provider based on a network metric associated with the first or second access network, a user activity preference associated with the first network and a user activity associated with the first or second packet flow for which the first network node is operable to determine the user activity based on at least one packet of the first or second packet flow, with the first network node being configured as a local area network and operable to selectively route packets between the first network and a second network configured as a wide area network over the first and second access nodes, each access network being operable to enable the first network node to access the second network over the corresponding access node.
