Claim Text:
1. A computer implemented system for improving performance of transmission in real-time or near real-time applications from at least one transmitter unit to at least one receiver unit, the system comprising: at least one computer, including one or more processors, being configured to connect to two or more communication networks so as to enable transmission of data from the transmitter unit to the receiver unit; and a data connection manager utility, implemented or linked to the computer, the data connection manager utility configured for: generating or accessing current performance data for two or more data connections associated with the two or more communication networks, and based on the current performance data determining current network characteristics associated with the two or more data connections; bonding or aggregating the two or more data connections based on a predetermined system latency requirement; dynamically allocating different functions associated with data transmission between the two or more data connections based on their respective current network transmission characteristics; and dynamically managing the transmission of data sets across the two or more bonded or aggregated data connections in a way that meets the system latency requirement and improves performance in regards to other network performance criteria.
