Abstract:
1. A method of transmitting data packets over an IP-based network, comprising: capturing parameters associated with a plurality of network interfaces of a first communication node; analyzing, using the captured parameters, a data packet that is received or to be transmitted; selecting based on analysis of the data packet, a first wireless network interface of the first communication node and a second wireless network interface of the first communication node; configuring a first IP address for a first communication between the IP-based network and the first wireless network interface of the first communication node running a first application, the first communication configured to perform a wireless bi-directional transmission of data packets between the first communication node and the IP-based network over the first wireless network interface; setting up the second wireless network interface using a layer receiving an identifier for the second communication node, at the first communication node, without receiving an IP address for the second communication node; wherein the identifier is associated with the first IP address together with a number of a port of the first wireless network interface; and communicating data packets between the second communication node and the IP-based network via the first communication node.
