Abstract:
1. A method of dynamic communication data routing by a multi-network remote communication terminal across a plurality of networks, the method comprising: delivering the multi-network remote communication terminal to a locality to receive communication services; communicatively connecting the terminal to a first network; communicatively connecting the terminal to a second network, the second network having a communication characteristic different from the first network; communicatively connecting the terminal to a user endpoint device positioned in the locality; receiving communication data directed to a target device from the user endpoint device at the terminal; determining a characteristic of the received communication data; allocating routing of received communication data to the target device across the first network and/or the second network based on the determined characteristic of the received communication data and the communication characteristics of the first and second network; and dynamically re-allocating routing of the received communication data based on a detected change in the characteristic of the communication data, wherein determining the characteristic of the received communication data comprises detecting the characteristic based on implicit information and/or explicit information, and wherein detecting the characteristic based on implicit and/or explicit information includes detecting the characteristic based on explicit information including detecting known packet markings of the received communication data, Ethernet priority bits of the received communication data, internet protocol (IP) differentiated class of service code points of the received communication data and/or locally significant code points of the received communication data defined by the terminal.
